POPSTruly Understanding Martin Luther King Jr. I love Sarah Vowell. Not because I'm an NPR nerd. Not because I'm a history nerd. Not even because I'm an assasination nerd. I have been accused of such vile things! But I protest! I love her because I'm an Emma Goldman nerd, in all her obscure anarchistic and humanistic glory. Emma Goldman perfectly balanced being a political figure with still being a living-and-breathing, loving-and-losing human being. Something that many professional activists (as well as historians) lose track of. I think Sarah Vowell introduces just enough levity to bring the force of irrefutable humanity (and its resultant moderation) to a field badly needing in perspective. Although she could take glib pot shots at the Christian right like Marueen Dowd, she has enough class instead to put it all in perspective and remind us that people who are different aren't necessarily deviant. She actually appears to have listened to what Dr. King says.

POPSWelcome to Capitalism: Conservative Publisher Cheats Conservative Authors It's very funny that these guys didn't see it coming. Their politics are all about the big rich guy screwing the poor little guy, so why are they so surprised when it turns out that THEY are the poor little guy? The funny thing is that Mr. Miniter notes with surprise that the company is "acting like a Marxist cartoon of a capitalist company." Apparently, he still doesn't get it: those cartoons have a point! If he doesn't like getting screwed by big companies, maybe he should think about joining the Wobblies. Conservatives, it seems, rely on the presumptions that they will be the ones exploiting, and they're okay with that until a bigger fish comes along and exploits them, then they want the courts to interfere in the free market!

POPSPotentially Interesting September Movies -We all love HP, but Daniel needs to be himself and known as that too, so I think it's good for him. -There's always something special about showing parallels in two different contexts, it inspires us and makes us feel less lonely. -It's always good to inspire people to beat the snobs.
