My interview with Sister Megan Rice of the Transform Now Plowshares: UPDATE
UPDATE 5/17/2013: the Sex and Politics podbean site is not putting up the sound file for this interview. The podcast for this interview can be found on iTunes here.

Obama’s drone policy expands definitions of ‘enemies’
This is an article I posted two weeks ago. It has some interesting links both to information about the Obama drone policy and the protesters who’ve been trying to call attention to the downsides of the use of drones against American citizens (and everyone else, too). Currently, there’s a prisoner of conscience named Brian Terrell […]
Who is telling you the truth about the drone war?
Per a chirpy article in today’s Huffington Post, we learn that the major media have no reporters dedicated to covering the nitty-gritty of our drone wars. The Obama information considers their strikes secrets (though obviously the people getting hit by the Hellfire missiles know, so the ‘secret’ is being held from the American People picking […]
My WBCR segment that went AWOL
So there we were Thursday night on WBCR, our second segment of 2013. And things were jumpin’.

Keep focused on this.
Sh*t (some)Republicans believe (updated)
This is an updated list. I originally put it up last September, just after the conventions, when the Presidential campaign began in earnest. I’ve updated it somewhat, but this seems to cover the subject pretty nicely. This list probably seems patently unfair to Republicans, and (to be fair) not all Republicans believe everything on this […]
2013: a to-do list
Okay, I’m a few days late. Thought it would be an easier holiday, but the Christmas/New Year’s holidays left my life like a wino, staggering out and making me appreciate the silence. At least for me. Here’s the list. Participate in the polar bear swim. Did that a few years ago. It’s not how […]
The Shale oil boom takes a hit
This started out as a short post, just to make sure you were paying attention. I have written a couple of times here about both Fracking and the shale oil/shale gas plays being touted as our energy future. The meme we as a society have seemed to buy into is that there’s no shortage of […]
