Discussing "Dirty Wars"

Thank God. Most of it went to South Jersey, Delaware and Maryland.

In the meantime, I’m going to try to stay awake enough to watch “The Act of Killing,” the Oscar-nominated documentary, today. Here’s a Mother Jones piece about it.

I did manage to watch “Dirty Wars,” the Jeremy Scahill documentary. (I kept falling asleep and had to watch it twice, but I did get through it.) Jeremy Scahill’s voice is very much (ironically) a drone, but push through that and watch. It’s worth it.

The older I get, the more I learn about wars and how they’re run, the more disgusted and skeptical I become. It surprises and frustrates me that people keep falling for the sales pitch, again and again.
