Thursday Night on WBCR is Drone Night!
Tune into WBCR‘s Sex and Politics this coming Thursday at the usual times (8 PM–10:30PM). I’ll be talking to an activist on the front lines of the protests against the Drone Strike program. He has been working with the Occupy Kansas City movement, and has also been a part of Trifecta Resista and PeaceWorksKC groups (he’s […]
Why do Conservatives use Facebook? Taxes and corporations
(publicity photograph from The Social Network, the movie about FaceBook founder Steve Zuckerberg) This is a meditation on the ‘makers, not takers’ in our society–and the scorn many Republicans heap on Mitt Romney’s famous 47%. Why do Conservatives use Facebook?.
being cranky about the Sequester (short)
Re the Sequester as a way to ‘fix’ the Deficit: Three out of five jobs created since the Crash of 2008 pay subsistence wages. For better than a decade, we’ve been shipping jobs overseas thanks to the removal of trade tariffs (due to NAFTA and GATT and all the other agreements) and the giving of […]

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.
