Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
le nub, I actually had to turn it off -- listening to Mike Daisey justify/rationalize his lies was making me cringe so hard I couldn't take it anymore.

Kate,
It really is incredible, isn't it? I am glad Ira Glass didn't punch him in the face!

I'd like someone to punch him in the face.

Skipping ahead to say I'm catching up on DVR'd shows, and just watched Good Wife (love that show), and then Smash-- and after seeing him as Colin Sweeney who is creepy as hell, it was really hard to believe him as a loving dad in Smash! I kept expecting there to be random acts of violence.

Seriously. And it pisses me off too because I think it's a topic that deserves serious journalistic inquiry, and this mess could just make it that much easier to dismiss any further reporting on problems with Apple's (or other companies') manufacturing practices abroad.

I don't watch Smash, but I can see that being a problem, meara!

Aside from the importance of the topic, I despise writers who invent things or rearrange timelines and characters and then say they did it to make a better story. If you're a good writer, you can tell a good story with the facts. If telling the truth is too difficult for you, write fiction and identify it as such.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

God, I hope not -- the one thing that should be clear is that all of the bad stuff happened, just not to people that Mike Daisey met. I mean, Marketplace and the New York Times each have actual reporting on this stuff, from the underage workers to the Hexane and whatever else.
