Who should you vote for? Take the test!
More so than in any other year, a Google search query for "who should I vote for" turns up many different tests you can take to help you decide who you should support in the upcoming presidential elections.
Obviously, all of these tests will have their imperfections, but if you find one that is especially (in)accurate, post a comment below so that other viewers can take your advice. Thanks!
Also, check out this graph which, due to a lack of graphic space, isn't entirely representative of the candidates' viewpoints, yet still gives a pretty good idea of where they stand (click for a larger version):
Check out this chart put together by the New York Times. The graphic details all of the casualties of U.S and allied troops throughout the course of the Iraq War's deadliest year yet: 2007
The other day I discovered FreeDocumentaries.org, a website kindly hosting illegally pirated documentaries. :) There you can watch many full-length movies focused on different subjects and viewpoints.
One such film is "Iraq For Sale," Robert Greenwald's (Outfoxed, Walmart...) best documentary, in my opinion. Check it out below:
For a list of other documentaries, check out our docu blog. Any recommendations about similar locations for finding full-length documentaries would be much appreciated. :) Thanks!
Do you listen to political music? Help us make a list!

We'd like to compile a large list of politically conscious songs, music artists and albums of all different genres and styles, although we can't do it alone. That stated, please help us out by offering your suggestions in the comment section below. Additionally, please make a note of the subject matter that is addressed by each title and its music style so that others will be inclined to give it a listen. Thanks!
**Update - 4/1/07 - I am in the midst of compiling all of these entries into a form. Ideally, I'd like to create a flash music player so that all of them can be previewed, but we'll see...
