Laurie Anderson Video
It’s Saturday, and time once again for the Laurie Anderson PSA video post. This one is called “I Hate Television.” [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snmllnY7-jI[/youtube] Now, in my opinion, this is television… at its best.
The American National Debt – Laurie Anderson PSA
Here is the next video in the sequence of (promised) Saturday installments of Laurie Anderson‘s private/public service announcements. This one is exponentially more relevant now than it was when she made it. Is anyone but me panicked about what the size of our national debt means for America’s future?

I don’t know, there’s a lot of…
Cheney, Cheney
Oh, the VEEP – Keep an eye on the Washington Post Cheney 4-part series by Barton Gellman and Jo Becker, which will draw on interviews with 200+ people who worked for, with or in opposition to Cheney’s office. I hope this will open some eyes. Part I was published today. Cheney brought a four-page text, written in strict secrecy by his lawyer. He carried it back out with him after lunch. In less than an hour, the document traversed a…
