In 1979, the summer after I finished college, I encountered my first Space Invaders machine at the arcade in a bowling alley near a friend’s house. Between that and Galaxians, I pissed away more quarters than I care to think about.
But, enough nostalgia. This is another poster for the March Against Corruption scheduled to happen “everywhere” on November 2. Find out more about the event and help organize on Farcebook.

This is another series of posters for the March Against Corruption scheduled to happen “everywhere” on November 2.
This design is laid out to allow for activists to insert information about their local events, and comes in two versions: one for events local to the DC Metro area, and another version for “everywhere”.

Ever notice what a pain in the ass it is for dissident/third parties to get any media attention? They hardly ever get any media because it’s damn’ near impossible to get onto the ballot. They can’t get onto the ballot because it’s damn’ near impossible to raise any money. They can’t raise any money because it’s damn’ near impossible to get any media… well, I think you can see where this is headed.
Only The Party is able to raise the gobsmacking amounts of cash needed to get its views into the media, which means that Party propaganda and talking points are all over the TV like a bad rash. Third parties, independent and dissident candidates are pretty much locked out because the tepid liberal and raving rightist freak wings of The Party collude to rig the rules so that they’re the only ones who get to participate in the televised debates — which takes us back to what a pain in the ass it is for dissident/third parties to get any media attention.
This is the first in a series of posters being created for the March Against Corruption, an international day of action — inspired by the uprisings in Brazil — being planned for November 2. Find out more about the March Against Corruption on Farcebook.

As I post this, it’s been nearly two days, and I’m still so pissed off that I can hardly see straight — and the really sad thing is that I’m not the least bit surprised. I pretty much learned to expect this after the Rodney King beating verdict.
Meanwhile, across the country, there’ve been some demonstrations, but… not one general strike called, not one student walkout called, not one serious uprising of the people who should be the most enraged about this. Seems they’re all either praying, or just standing around holding signs — or, as the media like to call it today, “an outcry”.
“No Justice, No Peace”? Huh, more like “No Justice, M’eh”.
Everyone is crying out for peace yes
None is crying out for justice
I don’t want no peace
I need equal rights and justice
