Three notable & highly entertaining populists, in their own words:
-- Canadian reformist politician TOMMY DOUGLAS (d.1986), telling his comic fable about unresponsive politicians, "Mouseland"
-- Texas journalist & commentator MOLLY IVINS (d. 2007), speaking in Berkeley, CA, around 2005. (Don't miss her stories about Rick Perry.)
-- Texas commentator, agitator, & former state official JIM HIGHTOWER, with some recent brief podcasts.
Each offers a witty critique of The System--& a call to action.
