"I learned the truth from Lenny Bruce,"
-- Paul Simon, "A Simple, Desultory Philippic"

Featuring a handful of Lenny's greatest routines, recorded 1963-64. (Sorry: no room this week for "Christ and Moses." Soon, though!)

Corporate 'personhood', Supreme Court kills Democracy
Jan. 21, 2010, 6:52 p.m.
Yesterdayâs supreme court ruling on corporate campaign funding effectively opens a floodgate of foreign and domestic corporate money into the American electoral process based on the rather weird idea that Corporations are actually walking, talking people and, as such, have the same exact rights: like freedom of speech, etc...
