Historical conquests
Monday's rotation: Idlewild, Chris Isaak, Mitch Easter, Josh Ritter, The Rough Guide to World Party (world music compilation).
And then there's this:
Obama: Stop Protecting Wall Street Bankers from Main Street (Bill Moyers and Michael Winship, Salon): "The president needs to stop shielding financial executives from the pitchfork-wielding public."
Suddenly It's OK to Call a Judicial Nominee a Racist (Jamison Foser, Media Matters)
The Need to Tax the Wealthy (Dean Baker, The Economist): "The quest to increase taxes on the wealthy is not a gratuitous attack on upper income households; it is driven by the need to raise more revenue to run the government. The best way to increase taxes on the wealthy, in addition to allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire, would be to apply a modest financial transactions tax (FTT)."
The American Way (Bob Herbert, New York Times): "Since Sept. 11, 2001, nearly 120,000 Americans have been killed in nonterror homicides, most committed with guns. Yet the idea of doing something about the insane number of
guns is a nonstarter."
What Happened to the Ban on Assault Weapons? (Jimmy Carter, New York Times)
Plastic. Fantastic? (Mother Jones): "Can we learn to live with (and even love) plastic?"
For Bands, Bonus Songs Become New Norm (New York Times)
Why Is Gmail Still in Beta? (Slate)
5 Massive Hit Songs That Almost Didn't Get Released (Cracked)
