Bad Lieutenant
May 18, 2014, 5:42 a.m.
Puts the kids to sleep! Time to talk about the (1992) Abel Ferrara cult classic BAD LIEUTENANT How bad is he? If you havenât seen this, hereâs your premiseâ¦If police lieutenant Harvey Keitelâs life could get any more sordid, he could probably sell tickets. The least of his vices is gambling, which has gotten him in Dutch with the mob. He abuses his body with drugs and his soul with hookers. Heâs bad and knows heâs bad, he abuses the power of his position in every way he can. Shaking down criminals, stealing evidence and selling drug dealers their immunity by jacking their drugs! Yea, this dude is rank, and we havenât even talked about the rank scenes! But Keitels Lieutenant (we never actually get his name) reaches a wall when he is forced to investigate the sexual assault of a Nun. Her ability to forgive the perpetrators unleashes the ultimate identity crisis in a man whoâs identity is rooted in self destruction â probably not a good situation. This is a film that 22 years after itâs release is still talked about â Listen to see where the 5 of us place this one in the pantheon of early 90â²s classics.. That and our Top 3 âCrooked Copsâ!

An unfinished paper issued to his employees on the 50th anniversary of JFK's assassination. Mark Gorton synthesises a bunch of deep political events to build a coherent picture of an ugly reality at the heart of the US government; underneath the facade of ordinary, dysfunctional, electoral politics is the descendent of the cabal which made the monumental decision to assassinate JFK in 1963.

Chomsky - What Really Drives Foreign Policy?
May 17, 2014, 8:39 a.m.
Professor Chomsky spoke to a packed audience May 13. He organized his analysis of what really drives foreign policy into a 30 minute talk, which we recorded and present here.
A standard justification of foreign policy centers on the supposed concept of maintaining and/or bolstering "national security." However, one must distinguish between official government assertions and actual reality. A vivid illustration of this distinction comes from observing what happened to U.S. foreign policy, and what did NOT happen, when the vaunted Soviet threat to U.S. national security collapsed into nothing. A series of new pretexts were put forward, along with an unchanged foreign policy.
So the question presents itself: what is this "national security"? Security for whom? Certainly, not the population! In fact, the population might even be regarded as the enemy.
Chomsky points out that our society today has ready access to all the information it needs, especially now with the help of Wikileaks, whistleblowers, and the internet, to understand and grapple with our bad government. So let's get up and do it!

Collective Courage: A History of African American Cooperative
Economic Thought and Practice
featuring
Jessica Gordon Nembhard, economist, author, Prof. of Community Justice and Social Economic Development in the Dept. of Africana Studies at John Jay College
Jessica Gordon Nembhard s research and policy analyses connect community- based economic development with community-based approaches to justice. Her
multi-dimensional research now fills a particularly glaring gap in our understanding of the significance of the African American cooperative movement in the U.S., one of the largest in the world. She explores the practice of community economics; cooperative economics and
worker ownership and liberates our imagination for better ways to organize
our economic lives

Rev. Susie's "Nothing but the "Bob" 2.0!"
May 15, 2014, 8:39 p.m.
Tonight's show is all about soaking up the "Bob"--it's "Nothing But the "BOB" 2.0," a collection of various Dobbs-related collages, some dating from the first year of the FUNHOUSE in 1994 and many of which I had forgotten I'd put together. There are a few dicey old edits spruced up for airplay, but an old rant of mine recorded off the radio sounded better with the sound tweaked to make it sound like it was being picked up on your fillings. Other collages were missing background textures or just seemed lame--so this one got a major overhaul. It starts out with "Light Up!" by Buster Bailey and His Rhythm Busters and veers madly through clips of crazy xtian preachers, rabid Amway cultists, and bombastic motivational jerks into landscapes of bad '80s synth crap, Bob Burden on Zen Retardedness, Stang's "Bob" in World War III rant, Little Fyodor and Babushka, a sick-making children's song about how that milk got into Bobby--and two songs by the Nine Unknown Men grace the lineup: The "Bob" Song (which blew my shit away to hear the "Are you--abnormal--"Bob"?" lyric), and another instrumental of theirs backs my old "Look at the SIGNS!" rant. All in all, it's a sonic full-mind immersion designed to put you on the path to X-Day.
Out of the Woods - Show #214 - 5-15-14
May 15, 2014, 6:30 p.m.
This version of the program is divided into 6 segments so broadcasters who desire to use this content can insert your station info, etc. The segments vary in length, but I try to keep them approximately 30 minutes in most cases.
Out of the Woods is an earthy, wires and wood, mostly acoustic program featuring some of the best new and established artists from the worlds of folk, bluegrass, singer-songwriters, alt.country, Americana, classic country, old-time, Celtic, and everything that falls in between. The show is an unpredictable mix flowing like a river between moods, often with an edge or in a melancholy minor key. On occasion, Out of the Woods features interviews and live in-studio performances with national and international touring musicians. Past guests have included artists such as Bela Fleck, Si Kahn, Brown Bird, Dana Robinson, Steve Gillette & Cindy Mangsen, Kate MacLeod, Bill Bourne, Karl Shiflett, Rachel Bissex, Darryl Purpose, Bow Thayer, Cosy Sheridan and many others. Out of the Woods grew out of Jon 'Chip' Colcord's former acoustic programs, The Song Swap and Music For The Mountain, separate folk and bluegrass programs which aired in New Hampshire during the 1990s. As a child, Colcord grew up a ravenous music fan with an ear for both rock and folk, from Arlo Guthrie to Aerosmith. All of these influences converge on Out of the Woods to bring you a mix which is as much on the edge as it is down home. Folk music with a rock 'n' roll soul

Sheldon Stern on Myths of Cuban Missile Crisis
May 14, 2014, 7:19 p.m.
Stern speaks of his 2012 book, The Cuban Missile Crisis in American Memory: Myths versus Reality, based on often rancorous debates in WH between JFK and NSC advisers over how US should respond to Russian missiles in Cuba in Oct. â62 that JFK secretly recorded and only he and RFK knew about. Sternâs book exposes misconceptions, half-truths, and lies, mostly by RFK, that shaped the dominant, mythical version of what happened; how JFK acted to avoid nuclear war with the Soviets, facing down demands to attack by Joint Chiefs, RFK, NSC advisers and Sens.
