Spring Update 2017 "Intolerance is the father of illusion and evil deeds. Tolerance is not its opposite; tolerance is neutral. The opposite of intolerance is creative imagination, sympathetically exercised in the service of ever illusive truth. The people I trust and admire take that path. Scholars, scientists, priests, and philosophers have helped guide me ... A fiery legion of artists and writers flung wide the gates and beckoned my near- sighted soul to go deeper" -Alexander Eliot, "The Timeless Myths" I just returned from a fruitful trip to Madison, Wisconsin. Spring was erupting all around me in the city that many call the Berkeley of the Midwest. Blossoms covered the trees shading hundreds of crimson gown clad graduates. The air seemed to be filled with new hopes and new roads to follow. Inspiration carried me as I boarded the plane to return west to Los Angeles.

PBS Blasts Romney's Snide Threat To Defund Public Broadcasting, Eliminate Big Bird and Fire Jim Lehrer

by Gregg Chadwick Graphic by Txvoodoo Last night's Presidential Debate revealed a new Romney style to the public: a smirking, manipulative and untruthful Mitt whose only  strategy seemed to be lying baldfacedly about his policy ideas. Already,  Romney has had to admit that he pushed misinformation in the debate to  Mike Grunwald , the author of the brilliant new book - The New New Deal .    I agree with Paul Krugman and Tyler Green: Most of the commentary about last night's debate seems to be " theater criticism. " MSNBC even pulled James Lipton on-screen, host of Inside The Actors Studio , to critique the debate as if it were simply a theatrical romp.
