Today's Radio Show Topics, Guests, and Fur Balls of Truth
Join Dave and I on Democracy's Edge Talk Radio as we cough up fur balls of truth and round up the stray news
and ideas that drifted away from the Fat Cat News, the Corpulent
Corporate Press and Bloviators of Blather.
In hour #1, we'll riff on Matt Taibbi's wonderment and why there is so much "peasant mentality" going on. Also who is your nominees for weasels of the week? Which real or fake person is the most annoying person of the week? Matt Taibbi has his favorite. Who should Obama name to the Supreme Court. Anita Hill? Why do hedge funds get to decide stuff and did you hear what Dick Durbin said about who runs Washington? The coup is complete. And there is a fungus amongus.
In hour #2 our Democracy 101 section, we welcome Phillip Cafaro, Professor of Philosophy at Colorado State. We talk about how we can survive with a growing population and a penchant for profit over people. What has Thoreau got to say about it?
In hour #3, one of our favorite guests will be on, Stephen Kinzer, the former NY Times foreign correspondent whose latest book "Overthrown" is a must read and a chilling eye opener. Why was the invasion of Iraq a really bad idea, but our invasion of Grenada maybe not so bad, if there is such a thing as a good invasion? Why in the world did we invade Panama? Is it time to get out of the empire business?
