i'm at the mckinnon's home this weekend because we all went to a play last night. i'm in the kitchen and trina and i are on dueling computers. (i'm on my laptop.) we're going to see who can finish 1st. also, blame me if the recipe sucks, the 1 trina's sharing tonight. it's mine and we'll be eating it shortly - another reason we are having speed drills on our blogging tonight.
be sure to check out cedric's 'Harry Belafonte's Calypso' - calypso is 1 of my favorites. please read elaine's "The first principle of non-violent action is that of non-cooperation" as well as this and this by c.i. about the way the right wing echo chamber doesn't act alone.
democracy now noted this on friday:
Carroll Criticized For Saying Captors Treated Her Well
Meanwhile, Jill Carroll is already coming under attack for saying that she was treated well by her captors. Writing for the National Review, John Podhoretz wrote: "It's wonderful that she’s free, but after watching someone who was a hostage for three months say on television she was well-treated because she wasn’t beaten or killed -- while being dressed in the garb of a modest Muslim woman rather than the non-Muslim woman she actually is -- I expect there will be some Stockholm Syndrome talk in the coming days."
that explains how the right got ramped up, it does not explain why mainstream media organizations like the new york times and the associated press put forward the same talking points.
and trina's announcing that she's already posting so let me post as well. soup's almost ready anyway.
