Why Men Don't
See the Harassment Women Experience. Yes, All Women.
Amanda Hess, Slate
Hess writes: "How can some men manage to appear polite, kind, even 'wonderful' in public while perpetuating sexism under the radar of other men's notice? And how could this dynamic be so obvious to so many women, yet completely foreign to the men in their lives?"

| The Problem Isn't the VA or Eric Shinseki
Charles P. Pierce, Esquire
Pierce writes: "And thus ends the honorable career of a soldier who was correct about the lies behind the greatest policy disaster of our times, about the essential criminality of the people who launched the invasion of Iraq, but whose primary failures as an administrator were his inability to oversee the people in his department who were directly trying to cope with the flood of casualties that resulted from all of those soldiers."

If You Thought Oligarchy and Aristocracy Were Bad, You'll Really Hate
Kochocracy
Will Durst, AlterNet
Durst writes: "In the bad old days, medieval German Lords figured out how to pocket some quick coin by charging a toll on the primitive paths meandering across their lands.

And milkweed, once common in the American Midwest, has been all but eliminated from the cropland where it once thrived, the loss a side effect of our growing, and increasingly efficient, industrial agriculture system. While the monarch itself isn’t yet endangered, its stunning migration could soon become a thing of the past.”
