• Dean Baker, Rebuilding the City, and Anne Elizabeth Moore

  September 20, 2010

  "Poverty is a one-day event, we get a report released and we're going to talk about poverty, but every day we hear what the stock market does," says Dean Baker, GRITtv economics correspondent. The problem with that kind of coverage, Baker notes, is that "many more people will experience poverty than will strike it rich in the stock market." Millions of Americans experience poverty not as a one-day affair, but as a constant, grinding force in their lives.

• Anne Elizabeth Moore: Striking for Living Wage in Cambodia

  September 20, 2010

  Earlier this week, the adorable young women who work themselves to starvation to keep you in your Adidas, Puma, and Gap sportswear decided they weren’t going to do it anymore at half a living wage. Sixty thousand of them walked off their jobs Monday. Twice as many Tuesday. By Wednesday, labor leaders were estimating that 210,000 workers had walked out of 95 factories in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. By Thursday morning, a meeting was set to renegotiate wages.

• Video Katie: PUMA Hunting

  August 28, 2008

  Check out these PUMA's. They out themselves pretty easily as McCain fans in Hillary fans' clothing. This guy (let's call him Ed) is the least convincing "life-long-democrat" ever. He is such a corn-fed life-long-Republican. As for the older woman (We'll call her Estel), I think she's one of those used to be progressive types who is now an old bitter racist.
