Georgia Congressman John Lewis speaking about the Voting Rights Act on the floor of the House of Representatives, reminding us how and why he got there…
Wonder what point this Houston Texas Grafitti Artist was trying to make?
I’ve been so obsessed with the corruption in Congress, the continued skirting of the issue of the Niger Forgeries, Bush’s made-up war, and Dick Cheney’s drive towards Fascism that I’ve missed some really important stuff. I hearby declare that I will rectify my dysattention to matters of deep concern beginning now with this hot-off-the-press blockbuster: […]
an·thro·po·mor·phism (nthr-p-môrfzm) n. Attribution of human motivation, characteristics, or behavior to inanimate objects, animals, or natural phenomena.

In America, maybe everywhere, we feel like we know our celebrities. Bob Woodruff is one we’re just getting to know, following a hard act – Peter Jennings. News of his severe injury in Iraq by a terrorist bomb is, perhaps, more personal than the 2238 U.S. soldiers, the other journalists, and the untold numbers of […]
