I just watched Harry belafonte speak for the better part of an hour on the Larry King show.

I'm still in a bit of shock.

I've never before witnessed a major 'Mainstream' figure speak out on television with such passion, honesty, articulateness and sheer guts. Larry kept giving him opportunities to back track a bit, and probably save himself from the flack he'll surely get, but Belafonte stood his ground.

He was magnificent.

At times the current political idiocy (decisions being made in both Canada AND The United States, by leaders who seem incapable of coherent expression) has made me VERY cynical......but tonight, I'm proud to be in the same profession as Mr. Belafonte.
