We discuss last night’s Democratic debate with a Congressional Black Caucus member, Artur Davis of Alabama. Also, we look at why a prominent Egyptian newspaper is blaming America for the bombings in Iraq. Read a translation of Al-Ahram’s editorial or search Al-Ahram’s Arabic website for the August 31st editorial in its original version. Then we’ll talk about how the Arab press is represented in the West. And, we’ll look at new TV shows that hope to bring Gen-Xers, Gen-Yers, and even the Geritol Generation together.
