Circumstances found us podcasting from Sam's place in Gulf Shores, which is tucked away on a charming little bayou. Unfortunately, the topics aren't as charming.
Politics: Hillary seemingly took center stage on the Sunday talk shows. Why? Sam says because she can. We learned a couple of new details from Senator Clinton's appearances; join us to find out what they are.
Iraqi Civilian Death Toll May Top 1 Million: It's difficult to contemplate, but Tina Susman's article, appearing recently in the L.A. Times, quotes a British polling agency that cites those obscene numbers. This segments also contains our commentary on private contractors vs. military and Blackwater's latest troubles in Iraq, along with the administration's response to the Iraq government's demands that Blackwater be ousted from the country.
Go Fish: In a brief break from the depressing state of the world, we spend a little time talking about fishing and other pleasantries. An upbeat intermission which includes Sam's lecture on dough ball bait!
Fascism's Gears Oiled and Turning Here? This really is a must-listen segment. We've visited it before in April, talking about Naomi Wolf's article "Fascist America In 10 Easy Steps". Today's pod focuses on Carolyn Baker's "The Police State Is Right Here, Right Now", published in Thursday's
www.informationclearinghouse . Quoting from Wolf's 10 steps, Baker makes the point as a college professor. We say: WAKE UP, or slumber at your peril.
Bin Laden Still Calling the Shots? You'll just have to join us to find out more details. Hint: It involves the upcoming Pakistani elections.
American Economy: R.I.P. : We wish we could have claimed credit for this title, but it must be given to Paul Craig Roberts, former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury during the Reagan administration. Often used as the source for our topics, Roberts has outdone himself on a topic of great concern for the regular, working people of tis country, which was published a few days ago in counterpunch. Listen up!
We'll be back, with any luck at all, on Thursday September 27. Please keep spreading the word. We cannot continue to grow without your support, which we appreciate.
