Just wanted to dedicate a few minutes to saluting the trouble makers outside the democrat party convention in Colorado.

An unexpected series of emails came my way today from several concerned citizens around the world, as well as Greenpeace Netherlands.

Mon, 04 Aug 2008 22:36:45 +0000
Mental Hospitals are always an issue of great concern and sometimes fascination (in terms of those that have been closed down under odd circumstances) for me.

Fri, 01 Aug 2008 22:23:09 +0000
In the great tradition of stream-of-consciousness podcasters, I’m breaking out of the usual format for this edition.
