When they refused, the driver stopped the bus and called law enforcement officials, who showed up with an arrest warrant. What amazes me about this story is that 1944 was not that long ago. My |

| This interview in Pitchfork with the fabulous, Sri Lankan via GB, M.I.A. bangs out just what she thinks is wrong with the way that she is portrayed in the US media. That perhaps the US media focuses on the "who" is behind the production and lyrical genius of M. I. A., as opposed to recognizing that she is responsible for her own creativity. |

| She's only the 11th female Nobel Laureate in Literature ever. My colleague Phoebe, who's a serious Lessing fangirl, has more: She's best know for The Golden Notebook which is usually hailed as a feminist text, but is just as bold an experiment in literary form.

But this story does stick out to me, because it transcends some of the awful, bad, terrible communications strategy/PR of the Catholic church and gives us a sense of something real.
