CHANGING MY TUNE 2008-11-14 15:14:27 I am just so happy and relieved that Barack Obama is going to be our next president. I can stop worrying so much about my children's future and the terrible, terrible course this country has been on under the dangerous, arrogant, belligerent buffoonery of Bush/Cheney/Rove/Wolfowitz/Rumsfeld/Kristal.So, in this blog, I'm going to 'change my tune' a bit and spend some time on my first and true love
ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE 2008-11-14 14:00:00 All politics aside now, could 7-year-olds Piper Palin and Sasha Obama BE any more adorable? Bless their hearts. The Huffington Post has slide shows of Piper's and Sasha's so-called sassier moments.
UNCHECKED SOURCES 2008-11-12 18:46:45 Well, the blogosphere and some of the mainstream media have been embarrassed again for publishing supposedly inside McCain campaign information from what turns out to be a hoaxster. Read the story, 'A Senior Fellow at the Institute of Nonexistence', on The New York Times website.
SHOW HER THE DOOR 2008-11-11 22:54:05 Alessandra Stanley, writing 'The TV Watch' New York Times article 'Rehashing '08 and Rehearsing, Perhaps, for '12' says Sarah Palin "is on a speed date with history, upending protocol as she goes."Please, Ms. Palin, just go away. “I’m like, ‘O.K., God, if there is an open door for me somewhere’ — this is what I always pray — I’m like, ‘Don’t let me miss the open door.
CHANGE DOT GOV 2008-11-10 15:26:47 President-elect Barack Obama's transition team has posted a new website, change.gov, which promises to be "your source for the latest news, events and announcement so that you can follow the setting up of the Obama administration." Meanwhile, The New York Times has profiles of Obama's transition team and potential members of his administration.
RIGHTING THE COURSE 2008-11-08 22:50:42 When President-elect Barack Obama takes office next year he will have the opportunity to immediately start to right the course of this country, which President Bush has steered so wrongly.According to a news report on the Washington Post website, 'Obama Positioned to Quickly Reverse Bush Actions', transition advisers to Obama have compiled a list of about 200 Bush administration actions and execut
YES WE CAN 2008-11-08 22:12:16 "We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can withstand the power of millions of voices calling for change.We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics who will only grow louder and more dissonant in the weeks to come. We’ve been asked to pause for a reality check. We’ve been warned against offering the
MR. PRESIDENT-ELECT 2008-11-07 20:39:41 The first press conference for President-elect Barack Obama. At long last, a leader we can follow and trust.
TEARS TO REMEMBER 2008-11-07 17:00:00 Judith Warner writes a wonderful opinion piece called 'Tears to Remember' in today's New York Times. "This moment of triumph marks the end of such a long period of pain, of indignity and injustice for African-Americans. And for so many others of us, of the trampling and debasing of our most basic ideals, beliefs that we cherished every bit as deeply and passionately as those of the “values
DECENT WAGES 2008-12-09 23:11:41 Union autoworkers in this country do NOT make too much money. They DO however, make inferior products. That's the trouble with Detroit. It's not that they pay their workers too much, it's that they don't produce cars that people want to buy. That's the fault of management.David Leonhardt, writing in The New York Times, says that labor costs make up only about 10 percent of the cost of making a veh
THE TEN O'CLOCK DRAMA 2008-12-08 23:45:48 I am a child of television. I have watched many hours of outstanding serial dramas at 10:00 pm each weeknight. I was hooked by shows like St. Elsewhere and Hill Street Blues. I couldn't live without them.But these kind of shows are expensive to make. So, for a long time, the networks tried to replace them with 'real dramas' on shows like 20/20, PrimeTime, 48 Hours and Dateline NBC. They were over-
LENNON REMEMBERED 2008-12-08 02:01:00 On this day in 1980, John Lennon was murdered.At the time, I was producing a live, two-hour talk show at CNN, called "Take Two." We devoted the entire show that afternoon to Lennon.A year later, I produced and directed a documentary, "Lennon Remembered", a half-hour television tribute produced at CNN and broadcast on Superstation TBS, strung together, on the cheap, with bits an
HARD LUCK AND HOPE 2008-12-05 02:20:25 I want to thank staff reporter Cydney Gillis of Real Change newspaper in Seattle for her cover story featuring the 'Truth Sessions' multimedia storytelling project I co-authored with photographer Doug Vann, painter Keven Furiya and composer Andy Zadrozny. The newspaper's mission is "to create opportunity and a voice for low-income people while taking action to end homelessness and poverty.&qu
PURE AND SIMPLE 2008-12-04 04:03:31 Neil Young performs his song, 'Cowgirl in the Sand' at Massey Hall in 1971.
CLUELESS GEORGE 2008-12-02 23:07:13 George W. Bush is a buffoon. He continues to believe and state that the essence of the presidency is to make the 'tough decisions', and that that, in and of itself, is leadership. He has no understanding that you have to make the 'right decisions.' Thank goodness his damaging presidency is coming to an end. He is giving a series of interviews as he exits the national stage. Good luck and good ridd
A TORTURED INTERROGATOR 2008-12-01 05:53:44 Matthew Alexander led an interrogations team assigned to a Special Operations task force in Iraq in 2006. He is the author of "How to Break a Terrorist: The U.S. Interrogators Who Used Brains, Not Brutality, to Take Down the Deadliest Man in Iraq."
