I thought I’d listen to NPR on my way in to work today so I’d get caught up on the current events (yeah, I just wanted an excuse to use my new scare quotes icons ). I couldn’t remember the location of the station, so I was scanning up the dial and ran across a station playing rap – I liked the beat so I listened to that instead on the way to work.

I did manage to do a little reading this evening though, here are some links:

California Representative Henry Waxman has posted a letter to the President. (Thanks Jim)

I think all Americans should read this article. This article from Salon pointed me to it. Are we still a country that values dialogue and the dissenting point of view?
