Barack Obama called for a second economic stimulus package of $30 billion. He also called for greater oversight of the U.S. financial system to prevent another housing crisis. Obama said, &quot;It is an agenda that starts with providing a stimulus that will reach the most vulnerable Americans, including immediate relief to areas hardest hit by the housing crisis, and a significant extension of unemployment insurance for those who are out of work. If we can extend a hand to banks on Wall Street when they get into trouble, we can extend a hand to Americans who are struggling often through no fault of their own.&quot; (REUTERS)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>------------------</p><p>Some specifics from Obama for those who constantly deny he has specifics. - Indecisive Jake&nbsp;</p></p> </div> <a href="/blog/34471-obama-s-stimulus-plan-reuters">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/34208-asksamharris-com-25-duets-george-w-bush-protest-dancing 2008-06-15T15:34:12Z SamHarris <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/5T2u_IieXAY&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/5T2u_IieXAY&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/34208-asksamharris-com-25-duets-george-w-bush-protest-dancing"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/37323" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>► <a href="http://AskSamHarris.com">AskSamHarris.com</a> </p> <p>Sam gets ready to go to the gym, puts on his best wife beater, and answers your most recent Ask Sam Harris questions.</p> <p>Sam Harris, do you take Liza Minnelli as your lawfully wedded wife? <br /> <br />Just duet. </p> <p>A double Eder hit maybe?</p> <p>Two parts with Dolly?</p> <p>The Porker Hotel Show?</p> <p>Sam's annoying pain with Bob Ross.</p> <p>How to hold a video camera, in 72 easy steps.</p> <p>I Squint, YouTube Squint, we all Squint for ISquint.</p> <p>Sam starts taking his hits to his head.</p> <p>Working with Liza on a show about her Godmother, Kate Thompson.</p> <p>Should people be allowed to protest a President?</p> <p>Should George W.

ELVIS IS TITANIC is the poignant, funny, and uplifting story of the semester he spent there teaching US history and English in the thick of the war for hearts and minds.</p> <p>Inspired by the volunteerism of so many young Americans after 9/11, Klaus exchanges the abstraction of duty for an intimate involvement with individual lives. Among the Kurds, a perennially oppressed but seemingly indomitable people, he encounters both openhearted welcome and resentful suspicion -- and soon learns firsthand how far trust can go. With assignments ranging from Elvis to Ellington, from the mysteries of baseball to de Tocqueville, from Michael Jackson to Thomas Friedman, Klaus strives to illuminate the American way for students initially far more attuned to our pop culture than our national ideals. These efforts -- recounted in unforgettable vignettes full of hope and discovery -- also occasion his own reexamination of truths we hold to be self-evident, as well as the less exalted cultural assumptions we have presumed to export to the rest of the world. - Cody's Books</p> <p>Ian Klaus, who now lives in New York City, wrote for publications across the United States while he was in Iraq and Afghanistan. He is currently pursuing a doctorate in history at Harvard.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/15614-connecting-with-iraqi-students-through-american-pop-culture">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/14672-storm-from-the-mountain 2008-09-05T22:42:55Z Big Noise Films <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Yq0cBKhaa_s&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Yq0cBKhaa_s&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/14672-storm-from-the-mountain"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/14589" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Storm is a beautiful and empowering video documenting the historic three weeks in Mexico from Feb 24 to March 11.

Ross King delivers a page-turning account of real-life rivalry in the act of artistic creation, personified by Edouard Manet as he challenged the conservative French academy and the supremacy of its most celebrated painter, Ernest Meissonier. Illuminated by their legendary supporters and critics - Zola, Delacroix, Courbet, Baudelaire, Whistler, Monet, Hugo, Degas - Ross King shows that their contest was not just about Art, it was about how to see the world. The author of Brunelleschi's Dome, Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling, and two novels (Ex-Libris and Domino), Ross King lives in England. - Cody's Books</p> </div> <a href="/blog/5682-ross-king-meissonier-s-forgotten-legacy">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/12-outfoxed-fox-news-asks-why-is-jesus-so-popular 2008-07-09T14:32:15Z jgilliam <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/PaOtvXJ2xHM&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/PaOtvXJ2xHM&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/12-outfoxed-fox-news-asks-why-is-jesus-so-popular"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/15" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p><a href="http://www.outfoxed.org/">www.outfoxed.org</a> As seen in Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/12-outfoxed-fox-news-asks-why-is-jesus-so-popular">Watch the video</a>
