For a couple of weeks, especially since Saturday, the blogesphere has been filled with the story of Killer Martinies, the mother of two who expressed what it is like to live poor in America. Why people make decisions that seem like bad ideas from the outside (Smoking, eating fast food, and spending the little money they have when they get it.)
Her voice has captured what it's like to be working class. Two jobs, two kids, and no light at the end of the tunnel. Her haunting words have been viewed well over 2 million times.
Linda will be appearing tonight on Al Jezera at 10 EST. And yes, she is working on a book.
