Rich Kacmar — Thu, 13 Dec 2018 09:25:13 +0000

Chris Hayes of MSNBC's All In reports that one of the last acts of the current Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan, has been to block any vote on the U.S. involvement in Yemen by inserting a rule into the farm bill with language that achieves that purpose. The HuffPost notes that five Democrats joined Republicans in adding that language to the farm bill. The U.S. currently provides many support functions for the Saudi War in Yemen which has starved tens of thousands and threatens to starve 14 million people. [Read more...]

Natasha Trethewey, U.S. Poet Laureate of 2012-2104, was born in Gulfport, Mississippi on April 26, 1966. I suspect that the incident described in this poem was a lived experience and not mere literary invention.

Lavinia Meijer Plays Philip Glass’ Metamorphosis Two, Flowing on Harp | Video Worth Watching

Rich Kacmar — Sun, 09 Dec 2018 09:04:15 +0000

It was recorded in the church of the Reformed Gemeente Kortenhoef for the Dutch radio station NPO 4’s program NTR Podium. [Read more...]
