What can we say to make a difference?
I haven't written recently for two reasons. One, I've not been feeling well. But that 's past. The more significant problem is I feel increasingly silent. What's to say when the Bushies whitewash their own investigations (the Abu Grahib report skewering Karpinski while letting the old boys up the chain of command who in Bush's "culture of
personal responsibility" take exactly none) and the have a literal echo chamber for their lies in Fox News and CNN. What can we say when much of what passes as news is now admittedly produced by the Bushies (listen to this NPR report on the agriculture department)?
Now, what can we say when there is still a good possibility that a true nut case in John Bolton will be confirmed as the Ambassador to the UN? Listen to his comments linked below. I admit they are edited (so what's new, George?), but they are on the record and can be contextualized. Nevertheless, listen to what he says, and watch how he says it. He's disturbed, and certainly not qualified as a diplomat. If he is confirmed, the system must be certainly broken.

That's Amazing
The goal of this blog is to highlight some of the amazing events in our political and social discourse. The primary focus will be "amazing" uses of communication to shape and enact power structures that are unfair, unethical or unhealthy for the targets of such talk.
