Spike Lee wants boycott of New York Post over chimpanzee cartoon BY Caitlin Millat and Tracy Connor DAILY NEWS WRITERS Updated Friday, February 20th 2009, 7:53 PM - Image Courtesy of Wikipedia - *** Filmmaker Spike Lee led the call for celebrities to join a boycott of the New York Post Friday during a raucous protest of a racially charged cartoon. Joined by his 11-year-old son, Lee told a crowd of about 300 people that he has bought the tabloid in the past - but no more. And he suggested athletes and entertainers shun the paper's writers because of Wednesday's cartoon, which compared President Obama with a crazed chimp by some interpretations. "This is not the end," Lee told the demonstrators, who marched in front of the Post's offices near Rockefeller Center shouting, "Shut it down." "I

"They" Said It Couldn't Be Done! Introduce a new idea and the world beats a path to your door, right? Not really. In the words of Mark Twain, "The man with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds." For every person who is open to innovation and change, there are probably a thousand who would vote in favor of the status quo. If you think great ideas are welcomed with open arms, think again. New Jersey farmers rejected the first successful cast iron plow in 1797. They believed the cast iron would poison the land and stimulate weeds. With the advent of railroads one prominent citizen proclaimed they would create the need for more insane asylums to house all those who were driven mad by the noise and terrified by the size of the trains! Trains fared no better in Europe. German "experts" predicted that if passenger trains traveled faster than 15 mph, the passengers would get nosebleeds.

Beverly Eckert , founder of Voices of September 11th , has been killed in a (small commuter) plane crash. Mrs. Eckert lost her husband on September 11th 2001. He was killed while working at the World Trade Center. And though former White House Resident, George W. Bush, maintains that the buildings were brought down by jet fuel loaded airplanes, many disagree, saying instead that pre-planted explosives were involved; suggesting a cover-up of the facts, indicating that top government officials were complicit in the heinous, domestic assault. In 2003, for a piece published by USA Today, Beverly wrote: Published on Friday, December 19, 2003 by the USA Today My Silence Cannot Be Bought by Beverly Eckert I've chosen to go to court rather than accept a payoff from the 9/11 victims compensation fund.

With gaping holes in its official account of the terror attacks of September 11th, 2001, the new White House leadership -- formerly led by George W. Bush -- now helmed by Barack Obama, limps forward with its directive to stay the course with the former administration's "Terror War." And though both Bush and Obama maintain that the World Trade Center towers were attacked and destroyed by a notorious Middle Easterner, Osama Bin Laden and his small guerilla army, there are those who suspect that the complicit and/or guilty parties are much closer to home; that perhaps (even) George W. Bush and senior level government officials in the U.S., Israel and/or Saudi Arabia, are conspirators in this grave tragedy. Its been many years since that fateful day, but questions about the Bush Administration's "official" account of the 911 events still linger. Many are requesting a new investigation, as the chorus of critics continues to grow. In 2006 a documentary called
