The End of My Line: It’s Okay to Embrace The ‘Covid Baby Bust’

…There’s only one column, labeled “Destination.” It includes Vietnam, Peru, Jordan, Sri Lanka, Cuba, and Ireland. My life doesn’t feel long enough to possibly go to all the places I want to go. My body doesn’t even feel big enough to hold all of the longings I feel. I’m confused when people ask me whether I’m lonely. I already feel like a small country. I do admit—especially as I turn 40 this summer—sometimes I still feel haunted by the nature of t…

The Risks of Remaining Neutral on Egypt

…amaging to our traditional allies in the region; especially Israel, Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia—something Mubarak is well aware of. Because Iran and the resistance it claims to lead has for now stymied our aspirations for Lebanon, we might be tempted to do whatever we can to preserve the “moderate” Arab regimes (here, “moderate” implies a secular dictatorship and nothing more) and make sure our interests suffer no further reversals. It’s all to…

Will House “Freedom” Group’s Core Racism Go Unchallenged?

…The corporate media let well-fed white guys like Freedom Caucus leader Jim Jordan talk about the need not to saddle his children and grandchildren with government debt, but they never ask about the debt and disadvantage that is already saddled on the backs of poor children and youth of color. And this gets me to the question we all should be asking at this moment in regard to the Caucasian Caucusoids. It’s the same question that Samuel Johnson ask…

Michael Jackson, Perfect “God” for the Media Age

…ere is any reconciling it… especially since there are some Web rumors that Jordan Chandler, who received the payoff, is saying now that his father made him lie. What I do think is interesting is not so much the legal process that found him not guilty in the second case, but how both fans and detractors exercise moral judgments when their icons have failings.
