A Visit with Sen. Dodd
The D.B.'s (Displaced Broadcasters) are still ... well ... displaced.
WHEN WILL IT END? WHEN? WHEN WHEN?
Our studio is still drying out from water damage sustained last weekend. We THINK we'll be back in our studio next week. We hope ... we so dearly hope.
Until then ... technical problems continue to bedevil us. We had to curtail our interview with Dr. Christopher Murray this morning. He led the study that showed that life expectancy among some women has actually DECLINED since the 1980's. We were not able to talk to him as long as we wanted to because the line we were using to talk to him was making some very unpleasant noise and it was too distracting to hear what he was saying. We tried to dial him back, but it took too long to give him much more time. Here's a link to the study.
And here's some more information connected to some of the issues I talked about in my conversation with Chris Dodd (D-Conn.): The Family and Medical Leave Act and the so-called "Ledbetter Bill" that bill would make it easier for women and others alleging discrimination to make it easier to sue their employers. Last May the Supreme Court severely curtailed the time in which one can file a complaint.
Finally, a lot of reaction to yesterday's segment on whether and how much "Race Matters" in our coverage of the Presidential campaign. Here's an essay from a TMM alumna Amy Alexander in the Nation.
She told me that many of our colleagues take issue with her premise. See what you think.
