Clouds of tear gas billow all around. A line of riot police waits in Taksim Square, just outside the park’s walls.The young people mill around, increasingly roused by adrenaline, and try to organize themselves. A girl hands out lemons — apparently they help with the effects of the gas.

Such are the words, and very common sentiment, of the average ex-Rush Limbaugh sponsor. They are most fun to read – and receive. For over a year, many of his sponsors had one foot in the door and one foot out. They did the hokey-pokey, waiting to see who would win the election — waiting to see what sponsors would actually leave. Nowadays, sponsors are running for the exits, as if they h..http://www.twitpic.com/cwcf01

The Walmart-Free Newark campaign mobilized local residents, business and lawmakers. That community action—organized by Working Families United for New Jersey—paid off with the recent announcement that regional and working family-friendly… RELATED: http://njpop.org/wordpress/?p=1110http://www.twitpic.com/ctxf7k

Sweet Rowen Farm is built on grass, on the pastures where Lisai’s herd of Randall Linebacks graze in summer and on the fields where he cuts their winter hay. He came to this farm-in-the-making after a boyhood in Grafton, college at nearby Sterling College and work on dairy farms in the Northeast Kingdom and New Zealand.
