I hope everyone is having or had a nice holiday weekend.

Most of you probably aren’t stuck at home like I am (writing a conference paper). You're probably enjoying one of the last good weekends of the summer and, wisely, not paying attention to the television. Good choice.

Allow me to fill you in on what’s going on.

The media are writing Kerry’s obituary.

No joke.

And if you don't think this propaganda effectively shapes public opinion and electoral outcomes, you're living in a fantasy.

We all should know by now for whom the game is rigged.

It's wake-up time.

If you’ve been watching this thing from the sidelines up until this point, I implore you to get into the action now.

You can start by contacting the Kerry folks and letting them know that now would be a good time to begin the presidential campaign.

Then I'd suggest you break off $20 or more and send it to the DNC or MoveOn or a political organization you know to be effective.

Just do it.

Then I’d suggest you start freeway blogging.

Mainstream journalism is dead, guys.

Tell your community about George W. Bush

Be the media.

Talking about it and thinking about it ain't enough.

If you can't get off your ass for this fight, you deserve another four years of Bush.
