Props for today
(1) Tim Wise...anti-racism activist, as well as a compelling writer and speaker: www.timwise.org.
(2) I'll stop trying to explain George Lakoff's writing and tell you ways to get it:
"Don't Think of an Elephant," Chelsea Green Publishing, www.chelseagreen.com. Also available through www.amazon.com. Also, check out the Rockridge Institute (www.rockridgeinstitute.org) for more details about Lakoff, his writings, and the work he's doing to put his thoughts into action.
(3) Everyone who helped bring the election irregularities in Ohio (and elsewhere) to light.
(4) The Sirotas (don't know whether they're related): www.davidsirota.com and www.tedsirota.com. David is a writer and Center for American Progress fellow(www.americanprogress.org) who takes the Democratic Party to task for its mealy-mouthed "centrism." Ted is a drummer and composer who combines music and righteous politics beautifully on his recent album, "Breeding Resistance," with his group, Ted Sirota's Rebel Souls (Delmark Records-- www.delmark.com).
(5) The work of filmmaker Gordon Winiemko (www.enjoythesign.com) -- in the interest of full disclosure, I had a bit part in his 1998 film, "Enjoy" (I played the role of "Tom"). He's at UC Irivne now, but he has occasional screenings of his work in the Bay Area...most recently, at 21 Grand in Oakland.
