Naomi talks about the "new normal." Shock Doctrine author Naomi Klein and Al Jazeera host Avi Lewis discuss the workers who are taking over their factories and plants rather than lose their jobs, some to owners who owe money to bailed-out banks. They also address the latest news in the nations global economic collapse amidst the White House and Democratic-led Congresss rejection of single-payer healthcare.

1. Democracy Now...best show each day on television!

2. I'M SORRY

I have to say it. Naomi Klein, one of the brightest and most
beautiful women I have seen. She is the total package. If
DEMOCRACY NOW could hold a fund raising raffle (I'm too poor
to win a bid...lol), for Dinner with MS. Klein, I think they
could fund a year of programming......not appropriate, I
know.....

for the greater good.

5. I really enjoyed her interview on Democracy Now last Friday...

Don't know if many of us DUers helped prompt her and Avi to be more vocal on this protest, but I remember when the the Republic worker action first started my immediate reaction was to call attention to Naomi Klein's and Avi Lewis's film "The Take" of Argentine workers doing basically the same thing!
