Nikolas Kozloff has responded, after some delay, to Roger Lowenstein’s NY Times hit-piece on him, his recently published book, and (predictably) its subject, Hugo Chavez. He takes on the talking points in the same substantive manner as I did some … Continue reading →

Catapult the propaganda, baby…

Michael J. Fox on Limbaugh and stem cells

Posted on October 27, 2006 by Sabina Becker

Like pretty well everyone who went to high school in the 1980s, I liked Michael J. Fox. Not in a screamy, crushy, posters-all-over-my-wall, die-for-him way (uh, that would have been the guys in Duran Duran), but in a he’s-cute, he’s-funny, … Continue reading →

Posted on October 26, 2006 by Sabina Becker

Crooks and Liars has a video of Keith Olbermann and Sam Seder discussing the Rush Limbaugh’s nasty, crass, baseless attack on Michael J. Fox. Man, is it something. Olbermann and Seder are their usual awe-inspiring, bang-on selves. But the Pigman? … Continue reading →

One sick Pigman

Posted on October 25, 2006 by Sabina Becker
