Help Haiti
I donated to Doctors Without Borders, because they have had people on the ground for a long time before the 7.0 earthquake demolished Port au Prince, and they even lost three of their facilities. What’s more, medical supplies and staff are the most urgent to prevent the spread of disease in the refugee camps at this critical time. If you have not already, please count your blessings right now and click through to support Doctors Without Borders.

What I Learned This Decade
As opposed to the annual litany of listicles, I have taken to the Last Day of the First Decade of the Second Millennium to share some of the powerful lessons I have learned as an active participant of our times, rather than find an excuse to re-hash Lady Gaga.
Based on this past decade’s explosion of technology and the implosion of industries, I foresee over the next decade a rise of the individual voice as a leader in politics and entertainment. Accessible creative digital tools, combined with social networking, have created an end-run around the status-quo content providers, offering empowerment for both consumers and innovators — as long as the individual is still in control of their own media intake and output.

For Whom the Bell Tolls
In keeping with Ben Bernake being named TIME’s Person of the Year of 2009 for his service as the Emperor Palpatine of our economy, Darth Vader literally rang the bell at the New York Stock Exchange, authenticating the evil in capitalism and proving that clueless pundits who cite “market forces” are actually referring to The Force.

Pearl Jam with Ben Harper in Auckland, NZ, on Thanksgiving (which does not happen in New Zealand). Video to come from this amazing show.
Sarah Palin’s Droogs
After their viral hit interviewing Tea Party protesters while politely revealing how little they understood the causes they claimed to support, New Left Media returns with this revealing piece speaking to Sarah Palin supporters at the book signing for Going Rogue. Here the same earnest interviewer tactfully elicits jaw-dropping failures of logic or knowledge. Good thing these people are buying books, they have some reading to do.

Oil of L.A.
I cannot believe I live and drive by each of these oil wells EVERY DAY.
L.A. sits on top of the third largest oil field in the US, and oil wells are scattered covertly throughout the city – around schools, stores and homes. You would never guess this because the oil rigs are built to resemble other buildings around LA, as this creepy video reveals. When the air quality of LA is pinned to the traffic, the fact that we live on an oil field with rampant drilling should also be considered.

Sarah Palin’s Loving Supporters
Really?
Sarah Palin only signs books for a half hour and people start an ad-hoc protest? It is almost as if she has attracted the kind of people who take everything as a personal offense and thrive in being outraged and make self-righteous demands under a populist pretense.

David Broder at WaPo, Please Grow Up
In response to his cliche-ridden piece in the Washington Post urging Obama to go on in to Afghanistan with $40B more troops (”play the hand your dealt”? This is policy? That’s not even good poker strategy), I wrote the following to columnist David S. Broder.
You oversimplify foreign policy affecting an entire region of the world’s poorest and most decimated, urging the lives of tens of thousands of Americans follow blindly into an historically unwinnable nation, because you have decided, from the outside, that Obama’s judicious decision making is itself the problem with Afghanistan?
If he were to rush into war, to find out later the country was not guilty of what he claimed, would it be okay, because he acted hastily and gave you something to write about? Would you be certain to write a column years later acknowledging if your escalation urgings were ill-fated? Or would you then be blaming Obama for something else in Afghanistan, even if he did exactly what you said he should do? Read More
Oscar Short List for Documentaries
The Oscars shortlist for Documentary nominations are out. Haven’t seen nearly enough of these docs. I am impressed that sentimentality did not deliver THIS IS IT, which is an awesome doc, and could just as well get a nod for best picture, since they have 10 openings for some also-rans this year.
But CAPITALISM was also slighted, which I still haven’t seen, though I hear it’s Michael Moore’s best. His is a timely message, that I wish got more attention.
Here’s hoping the astonishing THE COVE gets its due; otherwise FOOD, INC. which explains why America is eating disgusting crap everyday.
