We’re about to see our son leave for his second deployment to Iraq.

We’re about to look our son leave for his second deployment to Iraq. 0 When his grandfather went off to war, the world was in ruin after a protracted depression. Germany had invaded Poland and France. My dad lived in an America where racial hatred and bigotry were an accepted fact of life. He went to war because the government ordered him there. He went because he had to go. The world needed saving. And, the Army made him promise. When our son goes to Iraq, things won’t be a lot different a

Jared Bernstein: Disdain Versus Change

Last week in this space I applauded the fact that a few important shards of reality broke through the predictable pageantry of the Democratic National Convention. This week, it is difficult not to boo the truly fantastical specter of the RNC, where reality was banished from the hall. Like others, I will critique the non-reality of it every (look Bob Herbert, e.g.), but I also think there is a critical, forward looking lesson from the past two weeks about how the battle is evolving, and what Democrats

The 'Death Road', the Rastas, and driving in Ethiopia

From Colbinski Chronicles Contrary to popular myth or maybe just excessive farangi talk, I did not look crushed or crashed vehicles littering the side of the “Death Road.” It was crowded and I could certainly look the potential for serious accidents. In fact on the ride home we passed an overturned piggyback trailer that spilled its contents of salt every over the place. One thing to understand about Ethiopian driving is that a semi truck turned over on a two-lane road with heavy traffic from both

Bigger Than Hip-Hop :: A Q+A With Kevin Powell

On Tuesday, New York voters will go to the polls in an important Democratic primary. 42 year-old, former Vibe writer Kevin Powell faces off against 74 year-old, 26-year veteran Congressman Edolphus Towns for one of Brooklyn's 3 home seats in Washington D.C.

Digging deep: stories that cut to the bone

The LA Times runs an interesting feature today tracing the journey of Amy Tan’s book, The Bonesetter’s Daughter, from novel to opera libretto. The story, drawn from Tan’s life, explores an American-born Chinese lady’s relationship with her aging immigrant mom and ghostly Chinese grandmother. Composer Stewart Wallace had to persuade an initially reluctant Tan to join him in making the opera, which debuts Saturday in San Francisco. “I was drawn to the idea that we carry within our bones

Which Ticket Truly Means Change?

By Mort Kondracke The Washington Times The man without a party, Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, came to the Republican National Convention and raised perhaps the key issue of the 2008 campaign when he declared “the McCain/Palin ticket is the real ticket for change this year.” “Change” is the key on two levels — the purely political and the real world. Who is seen as the “change agent” of 2008, and who can actually deliver the changes America needs to meet 21st-century competitive challenges?

State of Prenatal Care in America

Doctor Ratings Prenatal care among pregnant women is declining in many states, and one significant example is New Jersey. The New Jeresey health officials indicated in their report that “one in five women who gave birth in New Jersey in 2004 failed to look a doctor in the first trimester. The numbers were even worse for the state’s minority women. Thirty-six percent of black women and 31 percent of Hispanic women didn’t receive the early prenatal care they need.” Furthermore, 12 percent of white w
