What did we come up with?
The truth about Selma is emerging.
Ed Hightower gets a truest.
It is shocking, the silence on the AUMF from the so-called left and the refusal to cover last Thursday's Congressional hearing on the AUMF. The silence should not just appall you, it should also inform you as to just who you can trust and just who you can't.
Ava and C.I. cover NBC's controversial mini-series The Slap and, more importantly, the reaction to it.
We'd argue: Probably nothing.
We applaud a member of Congress.
Thank you to read Elsa who e-mailed to inform us we had not done this feature once so far this year. Our apologies. We'll try to do it at least once a month.
As Rod Stewart once observed, every picture tells a story.
The Shi'ite militias certainly get applause from the Western press, they just don't tend to get called out for slaughtering civilians in Iraq.
What we listened to.
IPS was one of a tiny handful noting the AUMF last week (a tiny handful on the left).
Repost from Great Britain's Socialist Worker.
Repost from IAVA.
Press release from Senator Patty Murray's office.
IAVA.
Mike and the gang wrote this and we thank them for it.
And that's what we came up with.
Peace.
-- Jim, Dona, Ty, Jess, Ava and C.I.
