David Sirota's online magazine of news & commentary
(Reader comments now accepted at Working Assets)
I'm just back from seeing the movie Syriana and I must say, this movie is not a good movie - it is a fantastic movie. The film takes viewers on a very dark journey through the underworld of oil politics and corruption - an especially poignant topic these days, as I learned in recently reading "The End of Oil" (which is a must-read). Go see this movie - it takes concentration to watch, but it is worth it.
To find out more about me, download my official biography. A shorter version is this: I am the co-chairperson of the Progressive Legislative Action Network (PLAN) - a position I took after finishing a stint as a fellow at the Center for American Progress. I am also a Senior Editor at the In These Times magazine, and a writer for Working Assets, and a twice-a-week guest on the Al Franken Show. I have just completed a book for Random House's Crown Publishers entitled "Hostile Takeover" - it will be released Spring 2006. I also write a bi-weekly section for the Nation Magazine called Permanent Minority vs. Towards the Majority.
