This is your cat on catnip

Posted on 7:42 PM by Unknown

Internet connection woes have plagued me for days now. Days. Bah. Sorry about that.Here is our recent show on WOLT-FM, have a listen. After the show, we chowed down at The Red Bowl, which has the greatest sauce (for my veggie lo mein) in the entire universe. I regret to say I don't even know what it's called. If I knew how to make it myself, I would dump it all over everything and eat it daily.Right now: enjoying the dapper Anderson Cooper...

On the radio

Posted on 5:12 PM by Unknown

Today was our second OCCUPY THE MICROPHONE show in our new radio digs. (At left: my talented radio co-hosts, Double A and Gorgeous Gregg.)Last week was our first show at WOLT-FM (103.3 FM on your radio dial in Greenville, SC), so I deliberately did not link it, because it was a bit frenzied and I was not at my best. In fact, I was a nervous wreck. We are now broadcasting to a much larger audience; you can hear us in most of the upstate. Unfortunately,...

Campaign for Southern Equality

Posted on 12:51 PM by Unknown

The "WE DO" demonstration was today in both Greenville and Asheville... and we had a pretty good-sized group for the upstate. Over a hundred folks; I am SO proud of us! And only one lone heckler, who instructed us to read Romans Chapter 1. (I guess the rain was a mixed blessing.) There were five Greenville Occupiers in attendance. We started at the Warehouse Theater and marched over to Greenville County Square. Six couples attempted to...

Pope trashes capitalism for the New Year

Posted on 3:24 PM by Unknown

At left: I know he is technically Pope Benedict XVI, but to me, he will always be Cardinal Ratzinger, ideological hit-man for the Vatican.And today, he did some ideological sermonizing that few expected. Now, this is the kind of New Year's Day sermon I can get behind. Lots of people are surprised, quoting and misquoting right and left (if you'll pardon the expression) and so I went to the Vatican website to get the actual text verbatim:[The] world...
