In this GRITtv segment, Laura talks with activist and author Walter Mosley about his latest book, The Tempest Tales. Mosley tells the story of Tempest Landry, a young black man who is shot dead by the police when he’s mistaken for another man. When he arrives in heaven, he is denied entry but refuses St. Peter’s command to proceed to hell. We ask the question: Is sin for black people the same as it is for white people? Is it the same for the poor and the rich?

Hi Laura!
Hey!
Technically, your Web site is the MOST AMAZING PIECE OF CRAP EVER. Every time I look at your Web page, my browser freezes and idles for 2-3 minutes with the messages ”waiting for digg.com” and ”transferring data from digg.com” at the bottom of my browser screen.
I just pressed control-alt-delete in order to tell the Windows Task Manager to just crash my effing Firefox browser after 3-5 minutes of your crappy Web site freezing my computer.
Maybe you should think about this digg.com crap as nothing more than a poorly-designed virus! Either get it fixed or get something else!
COMPLETE GARBAGE!!!!!!
orly?
Well then, as we were saying,…
um, i think the symphony downstairs finally ran out of notes.
but then i join u for a read and, oh the humanity! whut 2 doo, whut 2 doo?

settles down to read & listen.
P. E. A. C. E.
thanks for attempting to save what’s left of my sanity. ;->
I <3 orly owl :)
We are sharing your concerns with the tech crew, thank you.
The digg site is not related to GRITtv. If you have any issues related to this post we would appreciate hearing them.
And I’m sure those *ahem* adult sites you were on last night have nothing to do with any connectivity issues you may be having…
And tw3k - that is one strange website… …not that I disagree with the overall message, but I don’t understand how they get to where they go….
oooooohhhhh, “it’s not working” ………ahhhhhhhh.
Dear Bling! Try emptying yer cash, I mean cache, of course i do.
Want digg? Enable cookies & proceed, I think. Never use it myself.
Just pretend it’s not there. That works for me.
Go borrow yer neighbor’s bigger ‘puter?
Turn off yer air conditioner or turn up the sound?
Tell the bunnies to stop chewing on your cable?
Just when you think you’ve got it, press F5.
The information herein has been supplied by a totally nonprofessional nincompoop & is therefore guaranteed unreliable. YMMV.
p.s., egregious is a very sweet and knowledgeable person. listen to her. please do not shout at her. she will not shout back, but she will seriously try to help you. honest.

and to the person having site problems, i have to stop any fdl page from loading, even the news page, all of the way or my browser crashes and wipes out all of my ’research’ windows…so, i scroll and wait till it loads to the comment box and hit ’apple period’…FAST…ya do what ya hafta do……better than nuthin’…..
I too have been having a terrible time opening the front page. Wish I had a solution or suggestion for you. I’ve written to the site and given them a description of the problem and the details of my operating system. Why don’t you do that, too, to help them pinpoint the problem?

unrelated to digg or fdl the video and audio in the gritTv player are not in sync for me.
You know there are many of us here who think that George Bush is a cheap, emotionally superficial bastard. Well, when I’m wrong, I’m wrong. As this exchange with the Politico’s Mike Allen (via Froomkin) shows the President does, in fact, care much more deeply than we suspected.
He prefers to ride mountain bikes. Or clear brush.
I think the clearing brush is to show how much he supports the troops and the biking to show he is on top of things with the economy. I’m not sure what Barney represents, but Laura I think represents his backing of the pharmaceutical industry.
