Everyone who voted for Obama
Must Get Out For Him Again!
by Richard E. Schiff

I guess I was a bit surprised that James Cameron's blockbuster Avatar didn't win Best Film (the reason for having ten nominees was to make sure big movies were included on the list), but if anyone was surprised that he lost Best Director to Katherine Bigelow, I must say that I really wasn't. After all, this was sort of a controversial awards season, and the odds were not at all in Cameron's favor.First, there is the fact that there was a woman nominated for that category.

The Power Of Birds (Last Night!)
There’s an interesting author’s note in the program for Robin Rice Lichtig’s The Power of Birds now at the Milagro Theater, and explains much about her fascinating and somewhat mysterious play. It’s an essay on bird migration; specifically, whether the migration is voluntary, crucial to the species survival or involuntary. by Arlene McKanic

Daniel Dromm: Surprisingly Fitting New Chair of City Council Immigration Committee
Daniel Dromm may be a newcomer to the City Council, but he’s certainly not new to the fight for immigrant rights – including in the political club he himself founded, the New Visions Democratic Club. In 2003, Monzur Chowdhury was nominated for membership to the club’s board, but debate ensued because Chowdhury was not yet a citizen and, therefore, not a registered Democrat. by Donna Lamb

TWO TICKETS TO HAVANA, PLEASE... REALLY
by Ernest Barteldes
Today, any American citizen can hop on a plane and fly to 'rogue nations' like Iran or North Korea, provided he or she gets a visa to enter those countries. Even though they are part of what the Bush administration called 'the Axis of Evil,' there is nothing (legally) that this country can do to against you if you decide to do so. However, the same does not ring true in case that same citizen decides to spend a few days sipping mojitos at a Caribbean island just 90 miles off the coast of Florida. If you do that, you are breaking the law, and might suffer dire consequences if you go for it anyway.STORY

Fat Chance
by Melissa Beveridge
While passing by a local fast food restaurant, I saw an overweight child,around 12 years old,
bringing his tray to the table with his friend. Curious, I looked a little closer to see what this overweight
12 year old boy would be consuming, and surprise, it wasn’t a kids meal, hamburger, or even
French fries. This boy had a big salad on his tray....Then, his next action smashed my hopes. -nycny.com

There is a new phenomenon in the global arena called “Climate Refugees”. A climate refugee is a person displaced by climatically induced environmental disasters. Such disasters result from incremental and rapid ecological change, resulting in increased droughts, desertification, sea level rise, and the more frequent occurrence of extreme weather events such as hurricanes, cyclones, fires, mass flooding and tornadoes.
