The ongoing violence in Iraq has forced 4 million people to flee their homes and communities in search of safety elsewhere. About 2 million remain displaced within Iraq, whereas the other 2 million or so have fled to neighboring nations.

My car was broken into this weekend. Glass everywhere. For a GPS system. Thoughts while sitting on the street, in the cold, waiting for two hours for police to come: Jerks. Violated. Pissed. Annoyed. Not excited about waiting for police, filling out report, dealing with GEICO, finding a glass repair shop on a Sunday night, [...]

New Yorkers Count Too

Hanna Ingber Win — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 02:08:56 +0000

This was cross-posted on the Huffington Post. I was so close to writing a post explaining why during this historic election I wasn’t going to vote. Well, I wanted to write about it but didn’t because of all the potential finger-pointing. (Not that I tend to be one who shies away from controversy.) Our society does [...]

Colin Powell devoted almost two minutes of his seven-minute explanation for why he has endorsed Barack Obama to denouncing leaders in the Republican party and others who have spewed anti-Muslim hate speech throughout this campaign.
