Occupy Tampa?
Greetings. It’s sticky warm here in my corner of Brooklyn, and a trip to the grocery provides real sticker shock.

A Good Day 2 Pie (a play about dirt, bugs, and Monsanto)
Remember the 90’s? We were all so much more happy-go-lucky back then with the economy NOT MELTING DOWN and such. Only the biggest foreign policy wonks had heard of Al Qaeda, and that was because of the war in Kosovo. But there were interesting protest politics going on even then. It was during the late […]
Kicking a big pile of dogsh*t in Three…Two… One…
Apparently my rep as a troublemaker and activist has made ‘friends’ (FB friends is a kind of odd idea, right?) think I should be involved in caring about all God’s creatures. So I have been linked to and prodded through e-mails to care about and protest the planned upcoming demise of one Lennox, a Belfast dog that shall be […]

Support for the NATO 3/5 and the Cleveland 5 needed
Okay, some explanations–there is a NATO 5 and a NATO 3. The NATO 3 are in huge trouble and facing terrorism charges for alleged actions they took when NATO had its conference in Chicago last May. There are two other arrestees, and although they make a NATO 5, the other two aren’t being charged with […]

Clusterphuck in Philadelphia
(note–I’ve made changes this afternoon 7/2 after seeing live feed. Not nearly as discouraged as I was when drafting this on Saturday) If you read my last post, you know that I had a whole raft of events going on over the weekend.
