Susan Rice for Secretary of State? VERY Bad For Liberals and Progressives It looks like momentum is building towards Susan Rice being the next Secretary of State. And a lot of liberal people, particularly in the media, are reacting to opposition by John McCain and LIndsay Graham-- getting behind Rice because she's being attacked by right wingers. That is a bad idea. Rice will be simply awful, from a progressive, anti-war, pro-environment point of view. Imagine combining Dick Cheney & John Bolton

Movie Review: Cloud Atlas-- Superb Movie with Strong Political Values Message Cloud Atlas is an extraordinary, revolutionary movie, the best one I've seen since Avatar, a truly different approach to movie-making.

Strictly entertainment-wise, it had me literally sitting on and gripping the edge of my seat.

They were purged, jailed or killed, or they fled the country. Here in the USA, we call people who call out evil whistleblowers.

Doubling Down has different meanings.
