Is “The Man” keeping you down? Then you must white! According to a new study conducted by researchers from Tufts University’s School of Arts and Sciences and Harvard Business School “shows that America has not achieved the “post-racial” society that some predicted in the wake of Barack Obama’s election, according to the authors of the study.” (aol) Many whites now believe that THEY are the ones being discriminated against. Samantha Clemens will be interviewing one of those researchers, Sam Sommers, and he’ll tell you about the shocking new revelations! Also… Our good friend John O’Brien is MAD AS HELL (at Bank of America) AND HE’S NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE! He’ll explain what he’s doing as Registrar of Essex County South.

9/11: how does the memory of 9/11 compare to other tragic moments in history? pearl harbor, JFK, Martin Luther King… do any other moments have the same resonance?

Book burning: is burning the Koran the same as cartoons of Mohammed? Why not? Why didn’t we have the same outcry for the cartoons? In fact, there were Facebook groups and movements for people to make more cartoons. What’s the difference?

Democracy in action: Tony Schinella, editor of Politizine.com, moderated the debate between Barney Frank and Rachel Scott. Amazing he agreed to it. Amazing to listen to it. Tony tells us how it went.

Video: Barney Frank debates Rachel Brown

Texas evangelist says ‘100 percent’ that Quran-burning is off Saturday

Press freedom threatened

What’s on my mind…

• Healthcare  summit – is there a compromise?  should the party that represents only 41% of the country in the senate get to dictate what we get in the country?
• Scott Brown – votes yes on the jobs bill (yea!), says he understands the IRS-hating nut(he said whaaat?), says the stimulus did not create one new job (same old Republican crap…)
• Is the IRS-hating nut a Tea Partier?  A terrorist? Does it matter?
• Health insurance premiums sky-rocketing (well, maybe everyone isn’t so happy with their current insurance…)
• Seems that “we the people” want it both (well, every-which) way – no new taxes, don’t reduce my social programs, cut the deficit programs…

On my mind….

• Is it wrong for a corporation to ‘restructure’ (default) their debt?  They do it all the time.  If not, why can’t people walk away from their mortgages?
• How Christian Were the Founders? – Texas, textbooks, religion, power, separation of church and state
• Abstinence education – recent research sez that it works – the more abstinence is emphasized, the less likely kids are to report they had sex within two years of the education.  You suppose some kids aren’t reporting accurately?  You think some kids accurately report more than others?
• Right-wing Tea Partiers – fact-based?  not so much.  getting bigger?  yep.  problem or distraction?  you tell me…
