Obama talks about Lily Ledbetter in debate
Sen. Obama mentioned Lily Ledbetter, a woman whose story I became pretty familiar with, in his debate tonight. Ledbetter accused her employer, Goodyear Tire, of decades of discrimination after she discovered that for nearly 20 years she had been paid less than her male counterparts at the company. The Supreme Court decided she had waited too long to file her claim.
I became familiar with this story while fact-checking an article for Ms. Magazine. Check it out here. The story will blow your mind.
Lily endorsed Obama/ Biden in September.
To make up for my lack of posting
It’s been a while since I posted. I blame the sickness. All of Los Angeles caught a cold this past week as the temperature dropped a whole five degrees for Fall. Dramatic change, people. I too caught the bug, and was in bed for a bit.
And with the new job, I’ve had less time to post, but enough with the excuses. On to the cats flushing toilets!
I promise for a more intellectual post in the upcoming days.
Four Days Behind the Scenes in Denver
I often wonder what it’s like for the Obamas. Several cities (or states) visited in a day. Not a moment to stop. The pressure of the country upon you.
The Obama campaign released this behind the scenes video. Sure, they know there are cameras watching, but there are moments that seem so innocent here. About half-way through Obama does a dance and talks about the Jonas Brothers. It will melt your heart.
RocknRolla Film Review
Review By: Rebecca Ford
I’ve always believed that deep down inside, everyone wants to be a badass. A rebel. A baller.
Or as it’s called in Guy Ritchie’s newest film—a Rocknrolla.
So what exactly is a Rocknrolla? He is the best of the worst. Drugs, sex and rock n’roll are not just a part of his life—they are his life. With Ritchie’s action-comedy set on the streets of London, we all get to visit this world, but thankfully, don’t have to stay in it forever. Because really, no one wants to deal with guns, bongs and torture on a regular basis (I think).
Ritchie, whose past hits Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch also explored the rougher edges of London, finds a rare balance between hard-hitting action and quirky dark humor. The cast of merry madmen, the interweaving of interesting storylines and a unique visual style all add up to a fun time in the underworld of London crime…..

News about the news
It’s strange to be in the Times building, working at the Times, and see on LA Observed that they are planning to lay off another 75 editorial positions. While I will be moving on to something else in a week, so the layoffs don’t really affect me, it’s so strange to be existing in this amazing, historical building… but be the last to hear the news about the news.
I feel bad for this place. The morale is low, needless to say.
It was only a couple of months ago that there were hundreds of layoffs. And now, again.
I’m young and new to the world of journalism, but after walking these halls (lined with historical papers from decades ago), I’m filled with a certain sadness at the Times. I barely new it. And I’ll never know it as it once was.
The only good thing about Sarah Palin?
Tina Fey’s impersonation.
I watched the VP debate.
But this is much better….
