Some political action sites to watch - Electronic Frontier Foundation watches RIAA-related legislation,

Misleader.org is a "daily chronicle of Bush Administration distortion,"

DontSpyon.US organises news about travel restrictions and resulting boycotts,

OneTermPresident.org turns an impending Bush defeat into iconography,
On the importance of losing - "Recognition of this mistake [the war in Iraq] - one that may prove as great as the decision to embark on the Vietnam War-is essential if the best (or at any rate the least disastrous) path out of the mess is to be charted."
