I took a look at the bulletin board at Berkeley Espresso and thought:
1) How depressing it is to have words reduced to their selling power.
2) This is what everyone thinks happens in Berkeley. Ad agencies and clitoris celebrations.

Chris Hayes demonstrates what a real liberal media looks like when he doesn’t fall for the hokum that Mitt and Ann Romney are somehow suddenly standing up for the rights and dignity of mothers who choose to stay at home in order to raise their children. How is Hayes different than, say, the good folk at CNN? For starters, he examines Romney’s actual record on the issue.

When I traveled a bit last summer, it seemed like all of my friends (and their kids) were reading The Hunger Games or had already read it. Suzanne Collins’ work sounded appealing, as I enjoy science fiction and this seemed to have some sort of social consciousness to it. But it took the release of the Hollywood blockbuster for me to finally get around to reading it myself.
(Warning: I don’t recap a lot of the plot, but you might not want to read these reflections if you haven’t read the book yourself.)
