maandag 28 november 2011

maandag 28 november 2011 Up at 2:18. Turn on France 24. The top stories are about the elections in Africa. Report - Concern Over Irregularities Plague Democratic Republic of Congo Vote. The campaigners blatantly hand out cash for votes. They do an exposé on the Democratic Republic of Congo - the famine, poverty, wars, etc.

Egyptians are also voting to choose a new parliament in the country's first elections since the fall of Hosni Mubarak. Egg salad on toast for breakfast. Turn on Stephanie Miller. Eric Boehlert - Senior Fellow at Media Matters for America - talks with Steph about an interesting trend: New poll suggests Fox News makes you less informed than watching no news at all. Shower. Walk up Westlake to work. Some small breaks for Seahorses and Starfish teachers. They get out early to the playground. When the Starfish come back inside, I get out the play-doh. Sharon does diapers while Sabrina preps lunches. They really mess up the place. Over to Seahorses for Anne's lunch break. The kids are already packing up. Some of them linger. They give Kenn a run for his money at nap time. Kenn is subbing for Toni. It's his lunch. Everyone sleeps. Time to read Anne's Smithsonian Magazine - Cleveland's Signs Of Renewal. It's been a while, but I visit the Dolphins to give Patty some planning time. They wake up one-by-one. We just hang out. Streetcar to d'town. Turn on The World - Stories From Egypt. Egyptians lined up and voted today. Despite a stormy run-up to the vote, the turnout was high and the atmosphere calm. I hear this on NPR a couple times - Moves Like Jaggar. Moves like Levine!
Shop for a few things at QFC. Turn on KIRO News. There's a stand-off in the state capitol rotunda.
More than a dozen protesters burst into a crowded committee room and began chanting in opposition of deep budget cuts. They shout in favor of taxing the wealthy. Hash browns and egg salad for dinner. Watch Hardball and Rachel Maddow. Hmmmm. Let's revisit Cleveland. Report - Merry Corporate Christmas, Cleveland! Be careful. It's loud.
