Episode 44: It's Enough to Make You Sick (7/4/09)
Health care industry lobbyists are writing prescriptions for ailing Senate Democrats. Funny thing, though, the prescriptions look just like big fat checks. Is this some kind of sick joke?

Episode 43: Democracy Inaction (6/1/09)
It just doesn't make sense. Work hard to get your foot in the door, then say nothing once you're inside. So you'll be invited back to say nothing again. Does that make any sense to you?

Episode 42: Stay in the Streets (3/30/09)
Orwell returns from hiatus with something a little different -- cinema verite from the streets of San Francisco. The occasion was a rally on the sixth anniversary of the start of the Iraq war (which, of course, is really the 18th anniversary of the US war against Iraq's people).
Not surprisingly, the attendance was dismal, the Iraq war being over and all.
Think about this: Six months from now, there will be more US troops deployed in combat than at any time during George Bush's administration. (Iraq troops go down about 12,000 while 21,000 go to Afghanistan.)
Populist rage can currently be found on the cover of Time magazine.

Episode 39: Yeah, so what? (12/24/08)
Afghanistan has been a graveyard every invader from Alexander the Great through the Soviet Union. So what? Is that any reason not to send 30,000 more troops?
