Contributed by J. R. Ransom
Tara Stiles "Yoga for Energy with Tara Stiles" Video (2min 58sec). Feeling sluggish? Tara Stiles demonstrates a yoga routine designed to restore energy. "Hey, I'm Tara. I'm a Ford Model. And this is my yoga for energy routine that I like to do. I like to do this routine in the morning to get me going or any time during the day when I'm feeling a little low on energy and it just pumps me up. So, the first thing I think of when I'm needing energy is I like to go upside down to shake things up a little bit. So I'll either do a head stand or a forearm stand or a hand stand.

Government's Sick War on Marijuana Video

Contributed by Jim Hightower
Jim Hightower Jim Hightower's great cartoon video (1min 49sec) of "The Government's Sick War on Marijuana" features some interesting facts. "Excuse me for a moment while I vent about the mind-boggling stupidity of the autocratic, bureaucratic, right-wing, Neanderthal numskulls who keep pushing an insane, inane, and inhumane holy war against marijuana -- which is, after all, a weed. "The holy warriors have become more fanatical and thuggish than ever. A marijuana arrest is made every 41 seconds in America -- nine out of 10 of them for mere possession. In 2004, 772,000 Americans were arrested on marijuana charges -- more than for all violent crimes combined."

To our Republican senators who know the war is going badly bud who are still voting for this president's surge, we say, 'Wake Up." And to the Bush administration who has failed our veterans and their families at home, we say 'Wake Up.' We're gonna wake up the senate. We're gonna wake up the White House. We're gonna wake up this country. And we're gonna stay up all night long until they vote with us. That's why we're here. Wake Up, America." - Senator Patty Murray (D-Washington).

Contributed by J. R. Ransom
Petroglyph This video (2min 47sec) is about the meaning of the colors of the sacred four directions in the Southwestern United States. Different tribes have different meaning and different colors. 'In the Southwest, many of our tribes share an emergence story which tells the story of our struggle to ascend through four different worlds. The first world was fire. A burning mass split from the sun to create Earth. We have given that world the color Red. It is a world opened to the east. The second world was breath, formed from the mists of time. In the pueblos, it is an act of prayer to breathe. We have given this world the color blue...'
