Life In Tanz!
Shannon...I hope you don't mind, but I took the liberty of updating your "Life In Tanz" stories so they were a little more readable. If you'd prefer them to go back to the originals, please let me know and I'll put them back.
Happy Hallowe'en
Some quick hallowe'en postings:
Yes I am procrastinating ;-)
- How to scare the kids away this year
- Give peas a chance! (If you don't get the reference, click here)
- Enjoy the trick-or-treating

RSS/RDF/Atom Feeds
If the above is meaningless, please click here before continuing. Now that everybody's up to speed, I can tell you that I finally fixed up the RSS on the blog. So you can be updated in REAL time. WooHoo! <sarcasm>With all the posting activity going on here, the up to the minute news will be really useful.</sarcasm>
At the bottom of the page you should be able to find the direct URLs if your aggregator can't find them for you. You can also use this neat little tool to track down rss URLS.
My personal favorite aggregator is NetNewsWire because it's interface is great, but at $40 USD it's not cheap. There's also Shrook ($24.95) and Amphetadesk (Free) if you prefer cheaper options.

The Gospel Experiment
In Jen's post below about Sarah McLachlan, she forgot to mention about The Gospel Experiment. Normally I'm not that big on religion in general, but I thought this was an interesting idea. If you've got $10 to donate, Mike would appreciate it. I've chatted to him a bit, and he seems like a cool guy (and he's Canadian too!). Thanks to Jon Reid for letting me know about this.
Time to vote?

Must be shared
I am surprised Dave did not post this already, but I have watched it 3 times now and can't get over it. It must be shared! This is a sarah McLachlan video that looks poorly done, until you realize where all the money went. Read fast, or as in my case, watch it a couple times. I find it pretty emotional, but that may have something to do with the hormones...
Many of our friends will have already seen it, and thanks to Jon for the initial link.
Enjoy
watch the video...

Michael Moore
OK... I was posting those pics at 2:30am so I didn't have a chance to write much more, for those of you who are asking. Basically the tour is called "The Slacker Uprising 2004" and he's doing it in 61 cities in 4 weeks. (2 cities a day!) His ambition is to get all of the non-voters (ie: slackers) to go to the polls and vote for Kerry. He said, "Sleep in, drink beer, vote for Kerry" and then threw clean underwear and Ramen noodles ("slacker staple food") to everyone who promised to get out and vote.
Moore also showed some "Vote Bush" commercials that he had made-- they were really funny. One of them was along the lines of, "When Senator John Kerry was being shot at in Vietnam, what did he do? He DUCKED." (This is said over a video of a soldier being rained on by bullets and ducking behind a tree). "Do you want a president who ducks?" (Shot of GWB being egged on his inauguration day) Then big letters "VOTE BUSH"... with an American flag being flown upside-down. He had 5-6 of them and had all 10,000 people laughing.
Prior to going into the media conference, I chatted with some protesting Bush supporters in front of the arena. One guy was telling me that Bush was totally justified in invading Iraq, because they found the tail of a plane buried in the sand there. "...and what else is buried there in those sands? We had to find out!"
When I asked him how many weapons the US has at the moment, he said, "Well... we're down 47% from what we had during Clinton's regime..."
I said, "So they're not as dangerous as the WMD that could potentially have been found in Iraq?"
He laughed, "Oh... our weapons are of a much higher calibre than what you'd find over there..."
It's hard to believe that there are people out there like that.
One Bush supporter is alledgedly half-Lebanese and half-Iraqi. I greeted him in Arabic. He could say hello, but not respond to "how are you", because he can't remember any Arabic. He couldn't read my Arabic necklace, either, and can't remember anything about his childhood in Lebanon, but was using his nationality as a selling point for GWB. That was really strange, because he seemed to have a heavy accent. I was wondering if he wasn't faking it.
Anyway... I think MM's speeches and presentations were really effective, and after interviewing a lot of people after the show, that seems to be the general consensus.
