did anyone hear the interview with cynthia mckinney and rosa clemente this morning on kpfa/democracy now? i was able to listen to a small portion only, but it's been archived on the kpfa website already, so i'm bookmarking it now for later listening (when the girls are in bed and the house is quiet!). if you're interested, you can find it here

Didn't hear the interview yet, though I've thought McKinney was interesting for a while now. She made really intriguing statements right after 9-11 in Mike Ruppert's documentary "The Truth and Lies of 9-11" in which she suggests that the current administration is a criminal syndicate. No surprise there, but given the climate at the time ("Don't say anything bad about the President") it was heartwarming, I must say.

*sigh*

i know a lot of people who think supporting anyone who's not the democratic nominee seems like a waste...but as awesome and ground-breaking as it would be to have a black man in the white house i just don't feel good about supporting the democrats.

with that in mind, cynthia mckinney seems like someone who might be WORTH supporting (based on the little i know at this point). at a minimum, she's interesting enough that i want to know more about her candidacy.

plus, i like the idea of a young(!) hip-hop activist as running mate. it's irreverent and in-your-face -- take that white male establishment!
