The Rage Is Not About Health Care 


By Frank Rich

It’s not happenstance that Frank, Lewis and Cleaver — none of them major Democratic players in the health care push — received a major share of last weekend’s abuse. When you hear demonstrators chant the slogan “Take our country back!,” these are the people they want to take the country back from.

They can’t. Demographics are avatars of a change bigger than any bill contemplated by Obama or Congress. The week before the health care vote, The Times reported that births to Asian, black and Hispanic women accounted for 48 percent of all births in America in the 12 months ending in July 2008. By 2012, the next presidential election year, non-Hispanic white births will be in the minority. The Tea Party movement is virtually all white. The Republicans haven’t had a single African-American in the Senate or the House since 2003 and have had only three in total since 1935. Their anxieties about a rapidly changing America are well-grounded.

Badu defends nudity in video made by JFK site


Badu said in an interview Monday that the video for “Window Seat” was a “protest” and “about liberating yourself.”

She said she chose Dealey Plaza as the backdrop because “the grassy knoll was the most monumental place in Dallas,” and she compared the criticism she expected to receive to Kennedy’s murder.“I tied it in a way that compared the assassination to the character assassination one would go through after showing his or her self completely,” she said. “That’s exactly the action I wanted to display.”

Not everyone expressed outrage.

Shame on You Academy


I’m so glad that the Oscar stage is handicapped accessible—thanks Prudence but you won’t be coming up—it seems you can try really hard & be an inspiration to many but can’t get up on stage in front of all those people to accept the award… [*snrk]

Stay real classy, Oscars
