The first ever Saint Louis World Naked Bike Ride will launch later this summer on Saturday August 2 at 9 pm, departing from Tower Grove Park’s Pool Pavilion (near Magnolia Ave and Tower Grove Ave).
The World Naked Bike Ride is an international event protesting oil dependency, promoting positive body image, and raising cyclist awareness. The bike ride’s dress code is “bare as you dare,” so all participants are welcome whether fully clothed, covered in body paint, or completely bare. It has been successful in various other cities such as nearby Chicago, though this is the first summer it will take place in Saint Louis. The Saint Louis event will have some pre-ride body painting at 7 pm.

Sometimes I Wonder What I'm Gonna Do! 7/22
The Who wrote the best version of Summertime Blues, but the final verse needed work, so I wrote a new final verse. This should be folk music by now. Wouldn't you like to honor the last of the Jesus Freak Kid's clan? Well here's a third verse that The Who or you might want to do!
Gonna take two secs, gonna write a fine tune for the JFK kin!
Gonna sing this song till word comes in he went larfing!
Teddy couldn't get it up! Dumped the chick in the drink!
They said, "We have to fix your head cause your brain's on the blink!"
"Sometime's I wonder what I'm gonna do! There ain't no cure for the Summertime Blues!"
I bet even the queer, Queer, and the Kweer Kennedys dig that!

What Will It Take to Defeat the War?
On June 28-29, an “Open National Antiwar Conference” was held in Cleveland, called by a newly minted National Assembly to End the Iraq War and Occupation. Over objections from the conference organizers, centrally Socialist Action, the assembly voted to change the name to include reference to the war on Afghanistan, and to emphasize the connection with U.S. backing for the Zionist occupation of Palestine. (The sponsors of the confab were so right-wing that they feared losing “unity” with Democratic Party supporters of Israel and the Afghanistan war!) What did not change at all was the popular-front character of the new outfit, tying it to the bourgeois parties despite the fig leaf of electoral “independence.” Making this utterly clear, it was decided not to call a national antiwar mobilization prior to the November elections explicitly in order to court those forces who wish to aid the Democrats (and therefore want to avoid making problems for the presumptive Democratic nominee, Barack Obama). Here is the leaflet issued by the Internationalist Group at the conference.
What Will It Take to Defeat the War?
