Still in Shock and Awe in New York's East Village

In the five long years since the first bombs landed in Baghdad, this nation has seen countless sacrifices that most of us learn about through photographs and stories and occasional movies.

Don Imus: Shock Jock Fired For Shocking

This week, America has been assaulted by endless news coverage about the racist comments spoken by Don Imus about the Rutgers University Women's Basketball Team. Al Sharpton, Spike Lee and Whoopi Goldberg are just a few of the big names that networks have brought on air to discuss this in depth. Unfortunately, with this debate, there is only one side to take. Arguing context or Don Imus' work in the community or striving to see a larger picture is futile. The people are pissed.
