Region Life Is Moving
Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
I’m moving Region Life up from its /life subdirectory to just plain old ChristopherHedges.com to consolidate this blog with another issues blog I have and to make it easier for readers by keeping all of the posts in one place, rather than spread across multiple “channels.”
If you’re using the feeds.feedburner.com/regionlife feed, you won’t have to change anything. I’ll update it to point to ChristopherHedges.com. If you’re using any other feed, i.e. christopherhedges.com/life/feed, please update it to the Feedburner feed (or ChristopherHedges.com/feed).

Remembering MLK Today
Filed Under Martin Luther King Jr | 2 Comments
We’ve come a long way toward realizing Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s dream for America, but must remember that we still have far to go to break the bonds of discrimination and distrust.
We need to remember to embrace Dr. Martin Luther King’s exhortation to let freedom ring in a nation where we will live true to the fundamental law written in the Declaration of Independence all men are created equal.
I wrote this over at Vocalo expanding the notion that we should unite to the battles that often divide people in these days:
Too often, we fall into the trap of dividing and fleeing from each other, instead of coming together to find the solutions to the problems facing our country. I might not always agree with you (and you with me), but there’s always value in listening to each other so that the best thoughts will win out in their never ending competition in the marketplace of ideas.

You’d think that a “blue” state completely controlled by “blue” legislators and ruled by a “blue” governor would be a paradise for all “blue” leaders, but things aren’t too great for Governor Rod Blagojevich — more people like President Bush than they like Blago. The free bus rides for seniors don’t seem to be paying off because the seniors’ children know they’ll be paying the bill for years to come.
Writes the Chicagoist:
The CTA bailout passed, and now we can move on to that other chronic political problem: Governor Blagojevich. Just how much of Mr. Testicular Virility are Illinois residents willing to take? Judging by a new Chicago magazine article about the embattled gov, “Mr. Un-Popularity,” not much. In that article, the Capital Fax Blog’s Rich Miller suggests that Blago is the most unpopular governor in the country, with approval ratings that have sunk as low as 16 percent (which, Bernstein notes, is worse than President Bush polls in Illinois, one of the country’s bluest states).
