Friday Femme Fatale: AirAmerica.com, Airbrushing and Arms Trade

Things were pretty calm this week around the fem-o-sphere. Apparently people were a little too caught up watching flying helium objects and making fun of the GOP.com #fail to discuss items in the realm of women's rights.
Sigh.
I, however, had a very busy week. I was not watching balloons in the sky, but rather launching a new website over at AirAmerica.com, the place where I spend most of my time when I'm not writing here at Change.org.
For those who identify as progressive, I hope you will check out the new site. Not only do I find the design compelling, but also the content. It is a big step for Air America to launch this website as it has traditionally been considered a radio organization, but now it is trying to compete in the online space alongside Huffington Post, Think Progress and Talking Points Memo, among others. Neat features include: 15 different radio shows, four live streams of audio and video content, six news channels, live interactive chats, and many other fun items. Oh, and I am especially fond of this video.
But enough about that, here's the news of the week you may have missed - enjoy.
