The New American Story

I think I'd just like to make the point that we tend to think of income inequality in this country as though it were a force of nature that people really don't have any control over. And certainly there are some underlying structural trends - the decline of unions, the increase of globalization and global trade - that are driving inequality to a certain degree.

But on top of that, and pushed by the Republican party, you have a tax policy that is favoring people who are getting more and more wealthy as a result of these structural trends and rewarding them with tax cuts that are allowing them to get richer still. And that is a new story in America and it's not the one that we like to tell ourselves.

-Tim Dickinson on Fresh Air

No One Puts Johny In A Box

No one puts baby in a corner! And no one puts John Waters in a box, or a closet, or takes him out of the closet! Here are some of his opinions on being gay, republicans, and what not to wear.


Coming out is so square.



I love that he voted multiple times for Shirley Chisholm. Here is my old post on her.



I like that the one thing he doesn't like is clothes with a lot of labels on them. It makes me want to go buy a bunch of clothes with labels. I think John would respect that.
