I was watching a West Wing Marathon and it was funny to see the issues they were dealing with in the series four years ago, and what’s being leveled against Obama. Bartlett is accused of being a socialist for wanting more kids to go to school. Racists are coming out in full-force because the president’s body man is black. Cold War is over, we won, but we are still worried about socialists. Hilarious. Then I read this Op-Ed. Nice way to keep looking back. Election 2008

Iraqi Voices
Maybe instead of talking about them, we should be listening to them. This is a great project by a great group, and some really wonderful people whom I am privileged to know. Part of what happens when you bring a group of artists to speak to refugees (or really to speak to anyone), is that the subject of art comes up. When people hear that we are artists, they tend to start telling us about the art that they know and love. There stories begin to be told on the level of music and dance, picture and sound.
