Tavis Smiley doesn't like Quentin Tarantino's movie Django Unchained. In particular he doesn't like the way the main character was out for revenge. Smiley says the most notable feature of post-slavery America is that there was not a black equivalent to Al Qaeda. Yes, under slavery blacks were treated in a nasty manner. But on their freedom they did not engage in revenge. Someday it would be great if Hollywood treated slavery as honestly and respectfully as they treat the Holocaust.
Tim Fernholz and Ritchie King created a flowchart detailing the options available to the Prez. and Congress as they deal with Fiscal Bluff, the Sequel: Debt Ceiling and National Budget.
