    If you've never watched a bail hearing, this is what they look like in 3,000 courtrooms across the country. There will be 400,000 human beings jailed tonight because they can't pay enough cash. (2)

    Tomorrow is Election Day in Israel (again). Most likely scenario is a Netanyahu led government w/ his Likud party as the *least* right wing party in the coalition. Words that weren’t said during this campaign: Palestine, occupation, or apartheid. Israeli electorate doesn’t care.

    If the election goes as polls suggest, it would be really hard for anyone to argue anymore that “liberal Zionism” has *any* capacity to drive change through the Israeli electorate process — even minor change. There is no Jewish constituency to end the occupation.

    Step back and think about what happened with Arrested Development, too. While both may be derided as "CC," it's very heartening that viewers care about the working conditions of the people who make the art and entertainment they enjoy.

    Ellen DeGeneres has faced a steep ratings decline, losing more than a million viewers since September, after reports of a toxic workplace at her show. It is a startling setback for one of daytime television’s most successful franchises.
