Fox News Crosses Line with Home Address and Number

New Orleans I ran home for a minute yesterday to pick up a sweater after the rain brought a cool front into New Orleans. The phone rang. I picked it up, there was silence and then the caller disconnected. I figured it was a bad robo-dial. A minute later there was another call. The caller [...]

Sly as a FOX, Clear as a Bell

New Orleans There is no easy way to get the whole story any more, if there ever was. The news from the FOX lair is titillating though and worth the search, just in the wild hopes that current scandals might force a different corporate culture or, even better, bring the whole mess down.

Labor Studies Under Video Attack

New Orleans University based, state funded labor studies programs, frequently forced to balance curricula, research, and training between management and union perspectives, would not necessarily come up on the top 10 institutional supports for progressive movements or even the top 100, but it would be somewhere on the list, all of which means that [...]

The attacks on Wikileaks founder and [...]

Beck Rally in DC

New Orleans One of the little known trivia questions about New Orleans over the last 20 years would be what newspaper in the country developed more Pulitzer Prize winning editorial cartoonists? The Times-Picayune would be right at the top of that list and Mike Luckovich now laboring for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution is consistently one of [...]

O’Keefe Never Dressed as Pimp, Breitbart Cover-up

Dallas James O’Keefe never dressed in his racist, caricature pimp suit in an ACORN or ACORN Housing office. This has been an under-the-radar dispute for more than six months, largely because it fades in importance compared to the errors a small number of workers were trapped into making. But, with the new attention on [...]
