*DON'T BE
WALMART SHOPPERS AT RSN: People go to WalMart because they want things cheap,
fast and convenient. That's not what we do at RSN. RSN is about confronting
injustice and commitment to improving our lives. Using the WalMart shopper
approach to acquiring your news and information may seem cheap, fast and
convenient but it will not achieve the basic goals, it will only eliminate a
strong independent voice. If you accept WalMart logic, that becomes the way you
live your life. Yes, there are many places outside the US where people do not
cave in to WalMart logic. Support RSN. / Marc Ash - Founder, Reader Supported

| The Bowtied Monster (George Will)
Charles Pierce, Esquire
Pierce writes: "Today, at Hiatt's House Of Hacks, George Will is someone who has nothing better to do than mock the current movement on America's campuses to try and cope with the problems of rape and sexual assault, and trolling its victims while jacking it into his dogeared copy of Bartlett's."

Jeffrey Toobin
| Billionaires, Republicans United in Denial
Jeffrey Toobin, The New Yorker
Toobin writes: "Remember when climate change could be a bipartisan issue? Newt Gingrich and Nancy Pelosi did an advertisement together, boasting of their partnership on the challenge it posed. John McCain also believed that man-made climate change was an urgent problem. Now it's virtually impossible to find any leading Republicans, including potential Presidential candidates, who will agree without equivocation."

| Post-9/11 US Foreign Policy: A Record of Unparalleled Failure
Tom Engelhardt, TomDispatch
Engelhardt writes: "The United States has been at war - major boots-on-the-ground conflicts and minor interventions, firefights, air strikes, drone assassination campaigns, occupations, special ops raids, proxy conflicts, and covert actions - nearly nonstop since the Vietnam War began. That's more than half a century of experience with war, American-style."

The Only
'Privilege' Afforded to Campus Rape Victims Is Actually
Surviving
Jessica Valenti, Guardian UK
Valenti writes: "Rape victims get called a lot of things. Sometimes it's 'slut.' For the 11-year-old gang rape victim in Texas, it was that she was a 'spider' luring men into her web. It's not all bad, though - thanks to anti-violence activists, those who have been attacked also get called 'survivors' and 'brave.' The last word I ever expected to hear to describe a rape victim is 'privileged.'"

Anya Kamenetz, National Public Radio
