We Serve It, Even When It's Hard To Swallow
President Barack Obama was greeted by deafening cheers and thunderous applause today while delivering the commencement address at the all-female Barnard College. The president shared billing with Evan Wolfson, the founder of the grassroots organization Freedom to Marry, advocating for marriage equality.

Our favorite political folk singer, Roy Zimmerman, has spent the past few months traveling the nation, performing and sending out little video tributes to the GOP.

Who else but Gary Busey could give sound advice on how to treat mom on her special day? Well, a lot of people, but none of them would be as funny as Busey.
Food has become the new addiction, the new “in” thing. It’s hip, it’s sexy, there are countless shows on TV exalting the newest innovations in food, and it’s become a pleasure, a luxury, a crutch, a fixation, not a necessity for survival. In the corporatist world of America, we have become so disconnected from food, from our sources of food, from the treatment of our food, that we’ve forgotten where it really comes from.
