Not so fast! While there may ultimately be a way to close this legal loophole the fine art of "political theater" has long been used by the left even though the cause has little chance of being enacted. As an example look at the Code Pink wannabes who protest every Wednesday on the Minneapolis Lake Street Bridge. The left overuses political theater so it's relatively meaningless for their causes but a lot of people are really angry about the bar smoking ban. I am among them though I haven't smoked in 35 years.
Politically, this matters because in this and most close elections it's the "undecided" voters that really matter. A large percentage of people are really mad at the bar smoking ban. Governor Palenty has given a sliver of hope with his rejection of an increase in the "health assessment fee/tax" increase on cigarettes. Senate candidate Mike Ceresi made his fortune primarily on the MN tobacco litigation. Ceresi's law firm insisted on getting all their settlement money "front end". The MN settlement also provided PUBLIC MONEY FOR POLITICAL ADVOCACY that led to the MN smoking ban. As they say in theater, "All's fair in love and war (and politics). There are a lot of PO'd smoking barflies out there. These are called "undecided voters".
Anyway, two hours ago I got diverted into the smoking ban protest. I checked and to my surprise "FreedomToAct.com" was available so I chipped $7 into the cause and registered it. It might take a day for it come up so if http://freedomtoact.com doesn't work try http://artmn.com It's worth checking out and worth promoting.
Right now I'm supposed to be working on a website to help provide school supplies for one children in one of the most dangerous places in the world. (Note I am here in a "good" Minneapolis community, not in that hellhole. Actually, my friend and writing associate did some early volunteer work there, helped setup some self-help programs that have done well in the last 35 or 40 years. My friend who is now "rich, influential and famous" wants me to set up websites on the operations. And set up a website for my friend linking them all. I explained how to do this to my friend and promised we would tackle it after I retired. That is now. I first have to relearn Front Page Web design
Anyway, I made the mistake of taking a break and checking anti-strib. This subject came up. Two hours later here is the framework for an extended anti-smoking ban protest, just in time for the election.

The irony is that music did change thing politically but to the right. I tend to get emails from people in Eastern Europe, some who come here because they got on the net and found that I knew Bob Dylan, if only calually from living twelve years in Dinkeytown.
In Eastern Europe under communism the opposistion was not allowed to use the "mainsteam media". Oppsition, make that "anti-communist" did have an ability to communicate a lot, often with enuendo, via live gatherings. Religion was one venue, thus the status, confusing to us of the late John Paul having near "rock star" status". Bob Dylan was revered by the "conservative activists" because he pulled it off with a really bad singing voice. A lot of anti-communists figured that they could do that and they could. Some are high ranking elected officials in post communist Eastern Europe.
The point is that music and musicians played a key roll in defeating communism, especially in Eastern Europe. As the old saying goes "nature hates a vacuum." The far left views are already way overrepresented in the mainstream media. You don't need vapid lefty musicians to repeat them. No vacuum.

02-05-08 Drudge Report: “In Berkeley, push to rescind letter to Marines”. Click here
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=berkley+soliah+resolution Before this the Berkeley City Council had passed a resolution in support of the allegedly gay Telletubbie “Tinkie Winkie” so this seemed like a “slam dunk”. It was publicized by the “Solah in Context” and here at Soliah.com and the media picked it up. To review the “fray” go to http://presslord.com/1999-2000.htm and search “Berkeley” Here is a “gem”
11-13 (2000) New Berkeley City Council vote November 14 (items #39 and #40). To brush up on the SLA that Soliah/Olson chose to become an "associate" of you may wish to review the condemnation of the SLA's assassination of Marcus Foster by the premier leftist magazine of the time Ramparts, based in Berkeley "Ramparts Magazine". To view the Ramparts article condemning the SLA for the Foster assassination click here . To learn about Marcus Foster read from his own book Making Schools Work ( I suggest the final chapter final chapter dealing with Oakland schools or the forward by Alex Hailey.

Clueless Jocks and it looks like I won.
"Tom Petty, the halftime show, is up next. NFL Network analyst Terrel Davis says he’s never heard of Tom Petty. Ugh."
After next Sunday's pro-bowl someone should sit "superjock" Terrel Davis down and have him watch the half-time show. He will no doubt say "Yes I know these songs". I watched the Super-bowl haltime show. It was good as was our Minneapolis Prince last year. With the Tom Petty show not much wory about the crotch grabbing, pediphelia support promotion, obscenties and "wardrobe malfunctions" found in a certain past superbowl halftime shows. It's intersting how this has become "mainstream". Tom Petty's "I won't back down" has got me through a lot of tough times." http://youtube.com/watch?v=ofwPKcnEOdE BTW: I have stood before the "Gates of Hell". It was on exiit at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts maybe 25 years ago.
A moment of silence is in order. 34 years ago Patricia Hearst was kidnapped by the symbionese Liberation Army. My posting on my http://soliah.com

02-01-08 Newspaper mogul’s palatial compound remains country’s pre-eminent castle. Click here
A lot of good background info on the Hearst Castle.
The entrance fees were raised around 50% a few years back. It will not affect those making a “pilgrimage” as I hope to do someday, but it might deter repeat visitors.
As to the blast there the article states “And more visible. On Feb. 12, 1976, while Patty Hearst was on trial in Los Angeles in connection with her involvement with the Symbionese Liberation Army, a terrorist group called the New World Liberation Front bombed the balcony of one of the guest houses, causing about $1 million in damage.”
There were some reports placing Soliah/Olson in the area and someone who looked like James Kilgore at the site blast just before the explosion. If so, provisions of the Patriot Act override the statute of limitations so this can still be prosecuted. I have heard conflicting claims about weather Soliah and Kilgore were involved. One detail I heard was that the bomber “left a fecal deposit” as a statement. This was apparently cleaned up but such a “fecal deposit” today would be a prime source of usable DNA that would get someone convicted. The evidence cache should be reviewed for DNA evidence with the two prime suspects still in prison. It would become a “dumb criminal” classic if the perp were convicted because they decided to “make a statement” by “pooping”.

Error: “the Nyack cops shot by the SLA, and so on?”
“Nyack” refers to the Brinks Robbery in Nyack, (Actually Nanuet) New York carried out in 1981 by members of the Weather Underground and the BLACK Liberation Army. The Symbionese Liberation Army had nothing to do with it. Here is a Wikipedia primer on the 1981 Brinks Robbery. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brinks_robbery_(1981)

If the video is real it will get out on the internet. I't amazing that these "tell all" show prefer subjective interpretation to "the smoking gun". This happened here in Minneapolis with the Andrew Cunanen case. The mainstream media could not bring themselve to even say that Andrew Cunanen was "gay" though they described several of his lovers with obviously male male names. (hint: 2 +2 =4). The Twin Cities gay press was mocking the mainstream media for not reporting on the drug use of Cunanen and his ilk.
Same here. Apparently this "gay icon" was really straight with a gay type drug problem. The video shows this drug problem "straight from the horses mouth". Why not show it?
