The Erickson Report for January 29 to February 11 shows how raw unemployment and job numbers fail to show the real state of the economy, offers up a plateful of Clowns and Outrages in Two Weeks of Stupid, and reminds us that We Are Not Alone with news from India, Iraq, the horn of Africa, and Turkey.

Written, presented, and produced by long-time political activist Larry Erickson, The Erickson Report is news and commentary from the perspective of the radical nonviolent American left. It is advocacy journalism, relying on (and relaying) facts but always open about having a point of view.
