Sean P ain’t neva lie.

We Americans have unhealthy relationships with everything we encounter.

Other cultures.

Mother Nature.

Medications.

And most of all, food.

I dislike Golden Corral mostly because I feel like a cow after I leave that place. And I’m still one of the slimmer dudes in the joint.

We have too much convenience in America and one day we are gonna have to pay for it. I’m sad to say that it looks like we will be paying for it out the ass. Nullus.

hype kills

Barack Obaama is NOT going to be that dude.

You can keep waiting for him to rip off his shirt and display an ‘S’ on the shirt underneath, but if, and when that happens the symbol will prA’li look more like this – ‘$

combat jack radio show

For the past few months I’ve been working on a project with Combat Jack appropriately titled ‘The Combat Jack Radio Show’. We’d like the program to harken back to the classic days of radio when there was no topic that couldn’t be breached.

We’ve already featured guests like Sean Price, Maffew Ragazino and Clark Kent.

Last week we hosted reality television pioneer Kevin Powell.

Here’s a link to the early archives.

What else can I say other than logon to PNCRadio.fm every week and we will give you what the game has been missing. The live webcasts take place on the crossover Thursday/Friday from 12mid – 2am.

workers rally

I went to D.C. this weekend to rally for the rights of the American worker. Not just the rank and file of unionized folks which I am a part of, but the non-union and even undocumented peoples who all combine to help give us a quality of life unlike any other place on this Earth.

What I have come to learn about Americans is that we are all strange and somewhat selfish in our particular ways. There are pundits and politicians who hold rallies designed to break the backs of unions. Without these unions many of us would be without healthcare and retirement benefits. But some of the unions fail to acknowledge the scores of workers who don’t form unions because they lack the leverage with their employer.

The American worker is in crisis. I can’t begin to tell you how much of the manufacturing which occurs in the United States is performed by prison inmates. The only sector which remains for us to work through is the ‘service’ component. We all can’t be waiters and waitresses while others manufacture the goods we consume. Something will have to give sooner than later.

In the meantime, make sure you visit the polls in November and let your voice be heard that you support ALL workers in America.
