I TRIED to make a hodgepodge of interesting unrelated items, but everything came out interconnected anyway! Features Brit journalist Johann Hari's expose' of Israel's secret weapon against Palestine--tons of untreated Settler sewage. The US's bloody foreign policy since--I dunno--1898? 1756? Glen Ford on Obama, "The Banksters," & dancin' to "The Monster Crash." As Zola wrote, "I accuse!" Happy New Year!

CORRECTION: Last week I mistakenly said that the music in our Christmas show (#94) was performed by 3 Jews and a gay Gentile. In fact, the music was performed by 2 Jews, a gay Gentile, and a Swedish Baptist (Stan Freberg). Could I make this stuff up?
This week's music:
Bruce Cockburn, "If I Had a Rocket Launcher" (live, acoustic)
The Telephonics, "Monster Crash." For a replay (video shows the lyrics), see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28I0JK0byLU
