Over At the Other Blog: Some Arundhati Roy

I used to nitpick about her writing and I still like her fiction more than her other works.  But these days, all the stuff that she says in her political writing and speeches sounds so refreshing compared to the crap that is inundating us from fake “progressives.”  (Election years can get so depressing - almost as depressing as recession years.  Combine both and, well, somebody please wake me from this nightmare sometime.)  

So, anyway, two posts at the other blog that include some words and video related to Arundhati Roy:
