In the beautiful coastal city of Recife, Brazil – a world capital for sex tourism – a couple of determined women decided they would try to break the cycle of domestic violence and get kids off the streets. Hummingbird goes onto the streets and sees the harsh reality these kids face and shows how these programs help break the cycle, giving youth a chance.
Check out this wonderful documentary Hummingbird by Holly Mosher.

Define Irony: Republicans are not afraid that a public option and health care reform will fail—they are afraid it will succeed, and everyone will notice how unhelpful they are.
In this clip from Crooks & Liars, Sen. Bernie Sanders calls out Sen. John McCain on the fact that veterans and seniors already get the “socialized medicine” that they are scaring us about, and yanking it would cause an uproar. He even calls for a vote on eliminating the Veterans Administration to make his point.

Here’s a thought: instead of screaming about non-threatening non-existing policies that have been made up by demagogues like Glenn Beck, Newt Gingrich, and Sarah Palin, let us examine the real crisis at hand: For-Profit insurance companies show the restraint of Enron, and the compassion of Guantanamo Bay. These are real stories of sick families suffering under our healthcare, and it has nothing to do with how they vote.
