La Bloga: Being ignored and being not ignored, ignorance is still not bliss. But Chick Lat Lit has possibilities.

“Payback is not sweet. Last week, after Id gotten word that PBS has funded Ken Burns to ignore Chicano and other Latino soldiers in PBS/Burns seven-part film essay on World War II, I got an email from MoveOn.org begging my support for PBS against some cretin in Congress who wants to cut off funding for PBS. I used to sign that petition in knee-jerk reaction time. I no longer find myself moved by MoveOns plea. Not that I support the ignorant rightwing pendejos who want to foment culture war, but I figure if PBS intends to ignore me, I shall now ignore PBS and its supporters on grounds that the WWII series shows PBS true colors. I have word that a meeting of some sort will take place between raza activists and PBS representatives in Washington DC on March 6, to discuss the Burns series. I’ll update you if there’s anything to report.”
