Grading Marathon Links
I'm caught up in all the usual end-of-semester grading madness, but here are a few links worth checking out. First, Andy Horbal's Film Criticism Blogathon. Lots of interesting posts here, and if I get some spare time tonight, I might put up a belated entry myself.
Second, via Jesus' General, a very interesting video, The Coolest 8 Year Old In The World Talks About O'Reilly, in which an 8-year old girl takes on the Fox News talk show host. The girl is a natural performer, but as the General points out, her comments have provoked some rather disturbing responses (see the General's post for that discussion).
The video itself is from the group The Bastard Fairies and appears, in part, to be promoting their documentary, The Canary Effect (trailer), which explores the devastating effects of the US government policies on Native Americans.
There's a follow-up video featuring The Coolest 8 Year Old's Uncle that is also worth checking out. More later, when I've gotten some grading done.
