I Got Away, Yes I Really Got Away
Meanwhile, in no particular order...
1. This PSA was censored from Canadian TV:
2. A gay Iranian man who has lived in Maryland for 17 years is set to be DEPORTED to his country, where he will face harassment (certainly), torture (probably), and murder (likely). He has not been granted asylum.
3. Inspectors find no nuclear weapons programs in Iran, which is NOT good news, according to President Bush, because it means THEY COULD STILL BUILD ONE. If that's not good enough reason to go to war, I don't know what is!
4. I recommend listening to my old professor Al Filreis read this story by Amos Oz.
5. We snagged press passes for the Kiki and Herb show at Carnegie Hall. Justin Bond will make sense of everything bad in the universe, and we will all leave the theater better equipped to fight it.
6. As usual, a few days before my own work premieres, I become convinced that I am a dilettante, an amateur, and a fraud. I will probably unconvince myself of this tomorrow.
Love
Dan

Preston shared with me this other upsetting Canadian PSA.
I'm kind of torn on what I think of them. On one hand I think having such shocking stuff on television can be really helpful. But I also think they're more useful on the internet where people can watch them and then talk about them with others. I haven't watched television in a long time, but I think the dialog that could/should follow that would be interrupted by the television show I was watching.
