Bring Me A Shrubbery!

Or better yet, please don't.  But it might be unavoidable. George W. Bush's "Decision Points" hits stores today, and the shrub hits the pr trail to promote it and try to rehabilitate his image.  Based on his first interview with NBC's Matt Lauer, it might not be possible.  (Video coming up at the end of the post, should you care to watch it.) Let's not forget the eight long years this country suffered with W at the helm.  Just before he left office, I took us on an alphabetical journey through his reign... Have a listen so you don't forget! [...]

Oh Mercy Mercy Me

Marvin Gaye was on to something. He wrote Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology) way back in 1971. And here we are today, fighting to save the planet.  The White House announced yesterday that they'll be installing a solar water heater and replacing the solar panels on the roof that Jimmy Carter installed in 1979, but Ronald Reagan took down. Bill McKibben and his gang at 350.org have another huge worldwide event planned this Sunday - 10-10-10. And our friend Howie Klein of DownWithTyranny and the Blue America PAC also had solar panels installed in his home last week... Today, we'll [...]

Verizon & Google – Are You For Net Neutrality or Against Us?

**Update... today's podcast is now available. Just click the player above to listen, or go to the video page to watch.  Also, today's TRNS update came from the wonderful Victoria Jones, who wrote "Sharron Angle -- Bill of Rights? On Her Terms Only" for Huffington Post today.  Definitely worth reading!*** Depending on what report you're reading, Google has gone evil (we already know Verizon is!), or they've come to their senses.  Unfortunately, I'm leaning toward the former. The Daily Beast can try to paint this as nothing to worry about: Google, Verizon Back Net Neutrality You can turn off the [...]

Net Neutrality, Kendrick Meek and BP

Those were the topics we covered on tonight's show. We started with the sad news that the Obama administration is, once again, letting us down. During the campaign and throughout the first year of the Obama presidency, Net Neutrality was the signature communications/technology issue. When an appeals court last month said that the FCC didn't have jurisdiction over broadband, the response was swift and certain that they'd take care of that. Now, not so much! The Washington Post reported that Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski is “leaning toward” a decision not to “reclassify” broadband to re-establish FCC authority over [...]

A Few Final Thoughts for the Week

Ahh Thursday nights. I love them, as they start my weekend. Since having the employment ax fall on me in late January with the demise of Air America radio, I've been working harder than ever. Moving my show earlier in the evening has allowed me to get to bed earlier... but it's made my life more hectic. And since I have no regular paycheck coming in, let's just say the stress level is higher than usual. So, I take Fridays off! (Although I usually use the day to do all the stuff I need to do but didn't have time [...]

Why I Couldn’t Sleep Last Night

I couldn't fall  asleep last night, and I couldn't figure out why until I started talking on tonight's show. That's when I mentioned that last night, upon learning of the "Collateral Murder" video, I couldn't watch it.  I said that I didn't want to see the killing. But after the show, while uploading the podcast and doing my usual after-show work, I realized that I couldn't not watch it... So, I braced myself and watched the horrors of war. I talked a bit about it tonight, but the guests I had hoped to have on to discuss what went down [...]
