Chicago Is Awesome, Baby! Hooooowee!!! We love this town. Listen up as we give a summation of what's to do in this fab city, and our impressions of same. We cover our visit to Frank Lloyd Wright's home and studio and Ernest Hemingway's home and museum in Oak Park, Chicago Art Institute with its spectacular Homer/Hopper exhibits, Blues experience, our impressions of Tennessee Williams' first play, "Candles to the Sun" playing at the Eclipse Theater in Lincoln Park and more. Much, much more, including some background into Williams' life and writings. Don't miss this segment!
On to the Real Serious Stuff: We are not amused. Here's a sampling of reality:
Rev. Wright: We would say enough said, but apparently not. Listen up for details.
Cliff Schecters "John McCain's Continuing Hypocrisy On Healthcare", published Tuesday in
www.ourfuture.org is an attention-getter. Listen in as we relate the comparison between McCain's Campaign e-mail on the subject and reality. No surprises here, but we wonder when the sheep will awaken from their slumber. Sam adds comments from his reading of Amy Silverman and Ted Samply. You'll learn something here, we promise.
When are the rich and powerful going to take the plunge and engage in the risk of war? You've got to join us for this segment, which features commentary on Mike Ferner's "Inside American Royalty's Security Bubble", published Tuesday in
www.counterpunch.org. Fascinating and poignant. Trust us on this.
War, here and there: We discuss two articles in this category, David Morgan's "Gates: New US Carrier in Gulf a 'Reminder' to Iran", published Tuesday by Reuters, and "Not Winning" published Wednesday by the Progress Report. Both are fascinating.
We know, we promise to be back and sometimes we aren't. Oh well. This time, we plan to be back on Monday, May 5. Don't hold your breath. Tell your friends about us before we become extinct. Patronize our little store. Stand up for something you believe in in the meantime. Peace.
