Inside August.

Posted another podcast , as you can see, and it's chock full of whatever the hell we've been doing for the past three months. If after listening to it you can explain to me what that may have been, I'd be eternally grateful. Just contact me at: Joe Perry of Big Green Behind the hot water pipes Cheney Hammer Mill Somewhere in Upstate New York I'll get it. Anyway, here's what we have on the menu for August: Ned Trek 19 - Careact This episode is loosely based on "The Changeling", an episode of classic Star Trek that features a killer space-probe named Nomad that thinks Captain Kirk is its long-lost mother. In our version, instead of killing everything in sight, the probe gives every living being it encounters single-payer health insurance. Hilarity ensues. The episode includes six new Big Green songs that sort of drag the plot forward in a somewhat haphazard way. These include: Spiro's Song (Die-de-die) - A surprisingly introspective numbe

As of this writing - and matters are tenuous at best - the bombs have stopped falling on Gaza. Not soon enough for the nearly 2,000 dead, many thousands injured, 10,000 left homeless, and an entire society cast into a kind of pre-industrial darkness, with very little energy, bad or nonexistent water, and less hope than ever. This rampage by the Israeli government was breathtaking in its ferocity, but not without precedent. Netanyahu blames Hamas for not surrendering earlier ... just the kind of jibe you would expect out of a tin-pot invading general. Tell it to the Hague, BiBi. Tell it to the Hague. No fear, right? We won't see Netanyahu in the dock, because if he lands there, our leaders would be right behind him for their crucial support of his atrocities. The ICC may sound like a good idea, but make no mistake: it's not for powerful countries; it is for defeated leaders from the developing world who have gotten on the wrong side of the United States in one way or another.
