This Was Brilliant

Sometimes I find Amy Goodman both too careful and too compartmentalized these days. She's got an institution to protect and favorites to promote, and that can sometimes mean that Democracy Now! is less than it could be.

But yesterday, Amy spent a good deal of her show with Nancy McLean talking about what's really going on in our rancid political culture and who's behind it and I think it's a segment well worth watching and considering.

This stunning New Yorker cover illustration has gotten a lot of notice as well:

Eric Drooker has something profound to say about it, too.

He's witnessed too much, too many times, too many places, seen too much death and destruction....

And now, maybe, Americans in general are waking up to what's going on.
