Taking Care
Madison Square Garden, May 20th, 1962. (Was Raymond Shaw waiting in the rafters?)
This magnificent document is just a normal speech on a normal day from a man arguing for a healthy labor movement, social insurance, community health, hospitalization plans, and decent housing.
"To break a union is to break yourself."
(For those who have a problem with the sound and video quality, go watch Obama in HD.)

Our Kennedy
Ordinarily filled with little but Obamoid / Zionist / anti-conspiracy swill, here Maher dishes it straight.

Mailer in the Spring of '68
It should've been a Spring like any other Spring, as it should've been a political year like any other political year. It is the night of May 28th, 1968 in Manhattan and Norman Mailer is talking with Bill Buckley -- both men at the height of their literary and cultural power. One man calls himself a "left conservative"; the other is the Godfather of the American Conservative movement. Neither man knew it at the time, but everything communal, egalitarian, and progressive in the American spirit had crested and would never again reach high tide. Robert F. Kennedy would be assassinated in 7 days. And the next 46 years (and counting) would be a reactionary nightmare.
How self-satisfied was the intellectual Left on the cusp of its extinction.
