Seeing as Congress is currently “debating” sending more U.S. troops to the Iraq occupation,

and seeing as the House Democrats think it’s enough to float a non-binding resolution that “disapproves” of sending more troops,

and seeing as there are still fear-mongering Republicans ignoring the vast majority of people (U.S. and Iraqi) who want us out of Iraq,

and seeing as the corporate media in their infinite wisdom are contributing to this discussion by showing us nothing but Anna Nicole Smith,

it seems time to revisit 1970 and Gil Scott Heron’s THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED.

I tried linking Wikipedia’s list of cultural and political references for this piece but couldn’t get it to work the fancy way.  It’s worth going here and scrolling down:    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_revolution_will_not_be_televised
