Episode #71: Jack Ruby's Dog
First Broadcast: 1/15/96
I'm not sure how it happened,
but I seemed to dwell on the
JFK Assassination this
week. Check out the link for all sorts of conspiratorial info, or visit
alt.conspiracy.jfk for hints on how to
start a flame war.
Episode #72: Welcome to the Land of Tomorrow
First Broadcast: 1/22/96
I know I spent
most of the show talking about high rents in New York, but I'm sure I
mentioned Noam Chomsky
at some point. Visit the Z-Net web site
for other Chomsky-like material as well. Hell, visit the
Zapatista web page
while you're at it! VIVA ZAPATA!
Episode #73: But I Digress . . .
First Broadcast: 1/29/96
I originally planned to discuss the
State of the Union Address, but I somehow managed to avoid that.
Visit the White
House for all sorts of related info, if you choose.
Visit Jerry Brown's web site for
info on a more qualified candidate for President . . .
Episode #74: It's So Friggin'
Vague: Or: Not Episode 75
First attempted broadcast: 2/12/96 -- completely different program
(Spanish basketball) broadcast instead. First successful broadcast:
2/19/96. Repeated: 2/24/96
This was supposed to run the week
before it finally did, but
MNN screwed things up and ran Spanish basketball instead of us. Go
figure... I thought this episode re: the internet would make a perfect 75th
anniversary topic, but whoops, turns out it was episode 74 after all.
Oh well. Look here for the reason
why I'm making all this fuss.
Episode #75: It's Either Me Or The Nazi
First broadcast: 2/26/96
More commentary
on the 1996 Presidential
campaigns. Campaign '96 On-Line
has some decent links to those and other campaigns, including one with info
on the Ralph Nader for
President campaign on the Green Party
ballot. Hey, there's even a
Green Party in New York State! That's pretty cool, huh?
Episode #76: Hell Freezes Over
First Broadcast: 3/11/96 Repeated: 10/25/99
This was a fun show
for me to watch, and even more fun for Kim to edit--I hope. :) It compared
the ever-idiotic Presidential candidate
Pat Buchanan
to a certain German politician of the 1930's.
Working Assets is dedicated to fighting
just this sort of right-wing stupidity in the government and elsewhere.
They're definitely worth a visit.
Episode #77: Flying Buttresses
First Broadcast: 3/18/96
This episode centered
on Mayor Giuliani and the NYPD's latest efforts to stop truancy in New York
City's Public Schools. For a look at what my old high school--Stuyvesant--
is up to now, click here for the
text-only page, or click
here for the Netscape page. I haven't found a link to the New York City
Board of Education yet (though considering how inefficient they are, I
wonder if they even have one), but when I do, you'll be the second to
know it.
