Shutstorm 2013: Bias on Bulls**t Mountain. 
 
Could there be a higher octane fuel for the Fox News false outrage exploitation engine than wheelchair-bound World War II veterans?
 
 

 

 

Gimme Shelter | Playing for Change
 
This song expresses the urgency we all face to unite together as a planet and offers us wisdom with the words, "War, children, it's just a shot away... Love, sister, it's just a kiss away". Dedicated to all the lost, homeless and forgotten people in this world. It is in the shelter of each other that the people live.
 
 

 

 

Hijacking Prison Phone Calls for Profit
 
Global Tel*Link charges sky-high rates to prisoners and their families -- up to $17 for a 15-minute phone call. Tell the FCC to set prices families can afford.
