Public TV You Should Watch

Independent Lens - "The World According To Sesame Street" shows three different productions of the popular children's show as created in Bangladesh, Kosovo, and South Africa. Awesome. Check your listings or find it on your TiVo!

P.O.V. - "My Country, My Country" is a documentary shot in Iraq and follows a doctor and his family through their everyday life while war breaks out around them. Not to be missed, premieres at 9:00p.m. tonight!

Hope? I don't know.

Democracy fails when education fails. There are so, so many ignorant people out there that I'm having a hard time believing that democracy can really succeed. It all ultimately comes down to fighting ignorance, time and time again, and willful ignorance is the hardest to over come, period.

How Did Your Legislator Vote?

Cool political tool - Consumers Union (nonprofit publisher of Consumer Reports) has posted an analysis of legislation and its impact on consumers, and when you enter your zipcode it tells you whether or not your legislators supported those things.
