anybody else feel this way?
First the political, then the personal. Anybody else feel this way lately– like your brain is being eaten? That it ain’t the heat, it’s the stupidity? That there are too many dumb and-or crazy things going on to address? The inspiration for this essay came to me a few weeks ago, when it was announced that […]
Quick note about open carry
This is an old post from 2014 but it applies to the recent mass-shootings. Being that I’m ostensibly a good liberal, I’m getting the pictures and fundraising e-mails and Facebook links of the Open Carry ‘activists’ congregating at stores. Target is not the only such store–open carry advocates are packing heat in malls, restaurants and […]
Tangerine Bolen, the NDAA and the Surveillance state
This is a follow-up to my Sex and Politics radio interview with Tangerine Bolen the other night. You’ll be able to hear it at our podcast site over the next few days, but the important part is here. I say this knowing that some of what I put forward here will be dismissed as conspiracy […]

FIGMENT EVENT TOMORROW! (unless it rains like crazy)

Don’t know much about a Cornucopia of Conspiracy Theories
In my play HOW TO STOP THE EMPIRE WHILE KEEPING YOUR DAY JOB, the character known as Jerry takes on the issue of the people who deride him as a conspiracy theorist–and those who use the phrase ‘conspiracy theorist’ as a pejorative term: “People call me a conspiracy theorist for saying that Obama signed the […]
the back-and-forth on the gun debate
A couple of weeks ago, I tried to line up the contradictions of the pro-gun lobby’s version of history. This was in reaction to two pro-gun guys being on WBCR Sex and Politics. Last night, we played host to another Second Amendment advocate, and I was able to bring out some of the more nuanced […]
My WBCR segment that went AWOL
So there we were Thursday night on WBCR, our second segment of 2013. And things were jumpin’. We had discussion about the Barghouti lecture at Brooklyn College about the BDS movement to sanction Israel for its continued ‘Palestinian Apartheid’. The lecture was going on as we broadcast, so getting into the station involved getting past […]
