The Senate is still debating McCain-Feingold this week, so please send a free fax to your Senators in support of the bill. At the very least, McCain-Feingold needs to ban soft money and some senators are being a bit wishy-washy about the soft money issue. If you're feeling really feisty, a phone call is even more effective. Find your senators' phone numbers and voice your support of McCain-Feingold.

Donate your old bras to a good cause!
As of last Wednesday, [Emily] Duffy, 43, a self-described gender-issue artist and part-time restaurant hostess, had 818 bras in her ball, another couple hundred on hand and as many as 137 arriving daily from friends and strangers who have heard about her project. By the time she unveils the BraBall on Thursday, at its world premiere, she expects to have collected 1,500 bras, which will form a 3-foot diameter globe of underwear she'll have to transport by U-Haul to ProArts Gallery in Oakland.

The latest from good ol' Molly:
Hard to see how the influence of campaign contributions on politics could get clearer than the credit card industry's purchase of a harsher bankruptcy law, industry's purchase of the repeal of rules to prevent repetitive stress injuries and High George Dubya's 180 on CO2. As Joseph Welch once said to Sen. Joe McCarthy,"Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?"

That McCain-Feingold is an imperfect instrument is beyond argument. It's not as though we are accustomed to flawless legislation from Congress. The truth is, unless we start by cleaning up the soft money in politics, we'll never get anything more done.

Barbara Ehrenreich kicks ass!
George II, also known by the Supreme Court as the "President," has asked us all to help make this a more compassionate nation. Some leading Democrats have already been pitching in--showing compassion to John Ashcroft, for example. Since many Americans have not yet gotten the hang of "compassionate conservatism," here are a few simple suggestions for things that you, as a plain, ordinary, sub-billionaire citizen, can do, right now, to end the tragic compassion deficit we are left with after eight years of Democratic rule.

It looks like Congress is going to repeal the OSHA ergonomics regulations, but that doesn't mean you can't implement smart ergonomics habits into your daily routine, including proper monitor location and ways to prevent wrist and back pain.
