When the twin towers fell, I was only in 1st grade. The photos that evoke tears in so many Americans, in all honesty, never registered to me emotionally; I look at them the same way a modern Christian looks at a cross (an image meant to create shock and horror, since it was a form [...]

[New post] The News isn't New Enough: Why Pop Culture Beats Politics

The News isn't New Enough: Why Pop Culture Beats Politics Julia | March 29, 2011 at 10:32 pm | Categories: Uncategorized | URL: http://wp.me/psSxA-4e

We live in a time when third graders sing along to Ke$ha songs about sex and underage drinking on the radio, without even registering the meaning of the words. In this culture, Entertainment Tonight and Cosmopolitan may seem more appealing than 60 Minutes and The New York Times. But in a world and an era as interconnected and fast-paced as ours being well informed about the top stories from more places than just Hollywood is more important than ever.

Walker Going Too Far? Wisconsin-Based Blogger Thinks So Julia | March 29, 2011 at 10:27 pm | Categories: Uncategorized | URL: http://wp.me/psSxA-4b

The capitol building is to remain open to the people, as required in the Wisconsin Constitution. Yet, Democratic representatives are being denied the ability to met with their constituents and have to meet with them outside, while GOP members are given full access to the building that others are not.

[It] brought America to her feet to stand up for our ideals and way of life. But, rather than seeing the smaller red letters at the bottom of the page, we stood up, the big, black, bold anger running through us, and with the enormous insults and anger running through our bleeding red, white, and blue veins, we lost sight of what the terrorists were attacking: freedom.

We Live in a Beautiful World? Julia | September 11, 2010 at 10:19 am | Categories: Uncategorized | URL: http://wp.me/psSxA-3L

"It's kind of ironic, you know. Each person on this earth, each government, each city, each country, thinks that they are the greatest. That their world is a beautiful one. That everything that needs to be done, needs to be done by others, because there's nothing more they can do. That all the problems of [...]

To Morgan Friedman on Facebook: The first amendment states "congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech, the press, the right of the people peaceably to assemble, or petition the government for a redress of grievances." Therefore, the same amendment that [...]

Saving the World a Click at a Time

As some of you may be aware, we reached my 1,500th hit this morning, after a new release on world hunger in the wee hours of the morning, in which I promised to make a change. Up until last night, every time we reached a hits milestone on the blog, I would celebrate with an expensive coffee or tea drink from Starbucks, even though I make plenty good coffees and teas at home. But, as I was attempting to ram the idea of donating your over-pricedn latte money to the World Food Programme, I realized that I do the very same thing. So, hencefourth, every time I reach a significant number on my hit-tracker, I will donate the price of a Venti Chai Latte with Soy ($5 and some change) to the World Food Programme, or a similar charity. So, every time you visit the blog, click an in-site link, or click "refresh" on your browser, you're helping stop world hunger without parting from a penny of your hard earned frappuccino fund. Do you have a warm, fuzzy feeling inside yet?

A friend of mine took this while participating in relief work in Haiti this summer.

Between our $4 carmel macchiatos, $100-a-month cell phone plans, and McMansions behind our bourgeois white-picket fences and pristine, kelly green lawns, we occasionally stop our days and look at the 24-hour news cycle that serves as the soundtrack to our lives to see a story about floods in Pakistan, earthquakes in Haiti, wildfires in Russia, and say, "Oh, that's Awful!" or, "How Sad!" and then continue on with our day. Sometimes, we even open our wallet and drop a dollar in the jar, or send... To read the rest, click here.
