Re-birthing a play: Goodnight LBJ
In case you’ve been wondering, I’ve been reworking an old play with my longtime friend and Viet veteran Richard Randig entitled GOODNIGHT LBJ. It’s a monologue/autobiography/rant in support of those who’ve been sent off to serve in lost causes. Will be posting about it on my blog in the next few weeks. The play is […]

Letters of support for Jeremy Hammond
Kinda self explanatory (address hard to read, click on jpg). I told you all in March of 2012 that there were bad times ahead and we needed solidarity. Whether it’s Occupy or Anonymous or the Plowshares, there are people who kick the beehive for the rest of us and they get stung. And we’re a […]
Jeremy Hammond pleads out to avoid life in prison
For those joining late, Jeremy Hammond was arrested last year for being involved with the Wikileaks file dump of incriminating information about the company Stratfor. Stratfor is an information-gathering company which has been doing work for US intelligence agencies–work those agencies are barred by law from doing themselves. The CIA can’t spy on American citizens […]
Medea Benjamin crashes the party
So if you were out of touch (no google, no tweets) Thursday, you probably didn’t hear about Medea Benjamin of Code Pink crashing Obama’s friendly little press conference about the drone strike policy and also the detainees at Guantanamo. As she was ‘escorted’ from the room, Medea reportedly said this: “Can you tell the Muslim […]
Pie Play for radio!
This is the podcast of the Sex and Politics radio version of my play A GOOD DAY 2 PIE. It was originally broadcast (and then put on the S&P Pod Site) in the Summer of 2012. Although we are doing a theater production of the play this weekend, that will be a shortened version that […]
Another Occupy Bull Connor Moment–Carmen Pittman tasered
Carmen Pittman, an Occupy Atlanta activist who was part of a group of protesters in front of Eric Holder’s Justice Department, was tasered by Capitol police today. For over a year, she and her family fought an attempt by Chase to foreclose on her grandmother’s house. She’s one of a group of activists who were […]
Occupy Sandy Staten Island report
Those of you who don’t listen to Sex and Politics may have missed out on what is a continuing story here in NY–in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy (which hit last OCTOBER), there are still big pockets of damage and hardship. My guest was Goldi Guerra of the Guitarmy, a great group of musicians in the […]
