Al Franken on GOP Lies / The Black Actress Labor Holocaust
This week I actually recorded a 4 hour conversation with Joe-6-pack of joe-6-pack.com, but I'll share a portion of that with you next week. This week I will talk primarily about race, particularly black women in media and how hard it is for them to grace the screen. If the topic of race discomforts you, you should stop the recording after we speak of healthcare and insurance.
But first, I show how Al Franken mercilessly takes apart a GOP liar. I like it when a lie is called a lie, but Al Franken stops just short of using words like lie and dishonest. He does ask to have an honest debate.
I also poke my nose into the notion of how much we are controlled by insurance companies. Not just the health insurance companies.

I especially enjoyed this episode Jeff.
I would like to post some thoughts on it when I get a little time but for now I just wanted to wish you and your family a nice Christmas Holiday.

Looking forward to your comments. I feel like I bared my soul on that episode, and there's still a lot more.

I liked the ideas about insurance and have thought the same things. Whenever someone says I need more insurance I think of the insurancecompany's big office building downtown and how much I have helped pay for it.
The race thing was interesting b/c sometime when I watch t.v. I have wondered what a black person thinks when they watch these shows and there are no black people. I don't think black people only watch BET.
The cartoon Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs had a lot of extras who were black, but suprisingly only one main character was and he was a little aggressive.
