Wanna talk about this show?  Discuss it here. 

Hey Folks, we won't be doing a show for 6/12/06.  John and I considered doing two shows one weekend and putting one in the can for 6/12, but I needed a week off.  So we'll see you on 6/19.

Peace.

Here is the single best piece I have seen to date about how the 2004 presidential election was fraudulent, and stolen by the Republicans.  This is from Rolling Stone and was written by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Although entirely ignored by the mainstream (corporate) media, you would occasionally see real investigation into this by smaller media outlets.  This piece seems to take the best of it all and condense it into one piece.
