"If America's so bad, why does everyone want to be here?" His answer: "When you're here, you're less likely to be a victim of American foreign policy." Diane Lefer (pictured above) from "The Prosperity of Cities and Desert Places"

"Good Morning and Happy 4th of July!... I feel the most patriotic action that I can take today is to be here in support of impeachment and especially impeachment of the poster boy for what is wrong with this administration." Maxine Waters, opening of the Los Angeles Impeachment Center, July 4th, 2007. The most patriotic action I could take on that same day was to sit down with Diane Lefer, independent and provocative thinker, author of the collections of short stories "Very Much Like Desire," "The Circles I Move In," her latest one "California Transit" and the novel "Radiant Hunger."
