Pittsburgh has a public television station, WQED. The House of Representatives has already voted to strip all government financial support from local public television stations.
No other media carries the kind of programming that public television does where you can see science, opera, orchestras, mystery, cooking, children’s programs, finance, ballet, home improvement, history and in-depth news reporting that tries to get to the facts without pushing a political agenda and many other kinds of programs. Now the bill to cut off support for public television goes to the Senate.

Blogging and writing are by their nature acts of hope even if the message is one of despair, because the blogger and writer still hope that someone will read their words.

The writer stood in the dark nude
And perfectly still
His muse stole into the room
And began writing on the white wall
In black ink
