Conservative Columnist's Racial Attack Against Secretary Mineta:
"Let the record reflect that among President George Bush's dazzling team of advisers, the only stink-bomb is the one Democratic holdover from the Clinton administration. It is absolutely contemptible that Bush will not rid us of this scourge...    He is given plumb government jobs solely and exclusively because he is a minority..." Read full story in Protests below.

Interview of the Week

Sports

Twelve year old American from Hawaii, Michelle Wie, becomes youngest female to qualify for PGA tournament.

Protests
Why is it OK to eat 'Babe' the cute pink porker but not a mean ugly pit bull?  Koreans raise dogs just like we raise pigs -  so what's the big deal?

First read MSNBC's article: "It's a Man Eat Dog World"
and then
Protest against PETA's cultural intolerance.


First read Ann Coulter's racist column where she trashes Norman Mineta for using his internment experiences as an example to make sure racial profiling doesn't happen again...  and then...

Protest to get her fired!

If the South Koreans could shut down the International Skating Union's Web site with 16,000 e-mails over something as "silly" as the Winter Olympics, WE SHOULD be able to do something just as good, or close, if not better. Here are a few places for us to direct our energy at.

Let's show OUR COLLECTIVE POWER!
