4506 [lbo-talk] Honduras -- rank: 1000
[Greg Grandin, prof of Latin American history at NYU (and a frequent guest on Behind the News), just sent this around.] Seems like a deal has been reached in Honduras, though still has to be voted on by Congress (see Times story below). Despite the fact that negotiations and compromises bestowed some legitimacy to those who carried out the coup -- and despite that fact that the question of whether human-rights violations committed during the coup will be punished is unclear -- on the whole ...

[from Popbitch] >> Crossing the line << Desperate measures for desperate housewives As botox and plastic surgery has become more and more fashionable within the LA acting community, so TV directors and writers have had to become more and more creative in order to show their cast members registering emotions. Marcia Cross, from Desperate Housewives, seems to have evolved an entirely ageless and expressionless kind of beauty, where nothing above the smile seems to move. An insider clai ...

[more GQR - this may be negation, but then again, it's very different from classic racism] Race: Get Over It In the wake of Rep. Joe Wilson's outburst during the president's joint session health care address and other strident personal and political attacks against President Obama, many in the media and Democratic circles advanced an explanation that this virulent opposition is rooted in racism and reactions to President Obama as an African American president.
