Band Aids for Machine Gun Wounds | Band Aids for Machine Gun Wounds There has been widespread outrage in response to a video showing US Marines urinating on the corpses of their dead Taliban adversaries. I’m not sure how much of the indignation is genuine and how much is pro-forma, but i | 1/18/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

This is What a Police State Looks Like | This is what a police state looks like. I am mad as hell. The images of police brutalizing peaceful demonstrators with batons, concussion grenades, teargas, and pepper spray has engendered an all-consuming rage within me. I detest bullies.

9-11, ten Years On | The tenth anniversary of 9-11 passed, and again I mourned. I mourned the thousands killed in New York, Pennsylvania and Washington that day, but I mourned for much, much more. I mourned the thousands of American and allied troops who’ve paid with their | 11/28/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Noble Savage | Recently I attended a very touching world-prayer service at a church in Woodstock. Representatives of all of the major faiths spoke and prayed. Muslims, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists and Native Americans prayed together for peace, and for the healing of t | 6/10/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Monsanto Is Satan (Part 1 of a 10,000 part series...) | High on my special list of pathologically destructive corporations is Monsanto. Though their sins are legion, I’m going to focus on perhaps their most evil activity of all – their attempt to control virtually all farmers and all crop seeds, and to for | 3/23/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Imagine | Writing commentaries has turned me into a sort of semi-professional curmudgeon. It's pretty easy too, since the world does indeed appear to be going to hell in a handbasket. Nonetheless, it's getting to be a drag. So, I'm going to try something new today. | 12/24/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Sunlight | Sunlight is the best disinfectant. It’s a cliché, because it’s true. The massive trove of hidden data about American foreign policy that has been coming out in bunches from WikiLeaks over the last year is one huge application of disinfectant, a vast | 12/13/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Drill, Obama, Drill! | Obama just gets worse and worse. It’s hard for me to believe, but now our president is apparently coming out in support of fracking, the natural gas extraction technology that pollutes the air with volatile organic compounds, and ground water and aquife | 12/3/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

The Training of Sheep | When I travel by air, I politely endure the TSA security checks. But I’m not willing to give up my civil rights because of fear of terrorism. As Ben Franklin said, those who would sacrifice liberty for security, deserve neither. What’s going on at air | 11/22/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Big Government: Boogieman | Big government is the new boogieman. Or should I say the old one. Ronald Reagan famously said that government is the problem, and this simplistic statement has found resonance with generations of conservatives, from the greedy elites, who adore the fallac | 2/15/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Am I a Commie or A capitalist? | My car is festooned with bumper stickers. Some favorites include “Abstinence Makes the Church Grow Fondlers”, “Alternative Energy is Homeland Security” and “These Colors Don’t Run… the World”. This last one in particular seems to provoke t | 12/19/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Obama Sells Out | Shortly after Obama was inaugurated, I wrote a commentary that was quite critical of his economic team, which was composed of the very people who had created the financial crisis in the first place. I ended the commentary by suggesting that the age of Oba | 12/1/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

The Other Healthcare Crisis | There’s more than one healthcare crisis in this country. Of course, there’s the issue of coverage for everyone, but another crisis is exemplified by just how callous, narrow-minded, and often ineffectual our current medical system is. 17 years ago I w | 11/15/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Our Embedded Media | Recently there was an article on natural gas extraction in the NY Times. It was basically a cheerleading essay on how the wonderful new technology of ‘fracking’ was going to exponentially increase the world’s natural gas supply.

Chimps and Bonobos | Humankind’s two closest genetic relatives are the Chimpanzee and the so-called ‘pygmy chimp’, the Bonobo. We share some 97% of our genetic makeup with both of them. This is a vast oversimplification, but in general, Chimpanzee society tends to be ma | 10/20/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Psycho Pundits | In recent months, The psychotic sophistries of right wing pundits have gone gonzo. It’s as if losing the election has blown their minds. First, there was Sean Hannity’s ‘tree of liberty’. I defy any sane adult to not fall down laughing after viewi | 9/6/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

The Outrage Over Lockerbie | The DJ on my car radio was incensed. The Lockerbie bomber had been released. My first thoughts echoed his: it was indecent that this killer was not only released, but received a hero’s welcome back home in Libya.

Dalai Lama - Fundamentalist | The Dalai Lama – revered by many as a highly-enlightened being, a paragon of virtue, someone for us all to emulate.
