TORTURE BUSH

TORTURE BUSH 03.25.08

On Saturday, with a single stroke of his veto pen, President Bush blocked a tough law forbidding the CIA from using waterboarding and other despicable interrogation "techniques." Some of these are the same techniques that were used at the now infamous detention centers at Guantanamo Bay. Act now: tear down Bush's detention center at Guantanamo Bay. man, a lot has been said about the guy, but i have to throw in my two cents: what a dick!

WETLANDS PRESERVED 03.25.08

know your history right? well, i have to say that the wetlands was part of a key chapter in the history that is ropeadope. it was there that we helped incubate and launch the legendary band (ahead of it's time?) project logic. in fact - wetlands trivia will have project logic and guests (warren haynes, mike gordon, and more) as the last band to ever play the venue, closing the set only hours before 9/11. anyway....there's a documentary coming out 'bout the old spot and it's worth peeping the trailor here.
