There are millions of Americans with a less than intimate relationship to the automobile in their daily lives. They work, they eat, they have fun - all without driving every day. In this podcast (click Here), I simply digress on a kind of life that the majority of my fellow countrymen can barely imagine.
We spend too much time in and money on our cars. And it's good to live with them at arm's length.

A Good Day
This election day in Philadelphia was the most important and most joyous I have ever seen. The city streets buzzed with exitement, and everyone greeted everyone else and gave short nods of assent to complete strangers. After eight years of shame, we could walk proudly as citizens again. Click here to hear what happened that day, and to hear the sound of a city firing on all cylinders.

Our Mob
The 2008 Phillies, and anyone who wasn't old enough or just wasn't here, have had their moment in the sun, their parade. On that gorgeous fall day, they were worshipped on the street with hunger that had been building for 28 years.
Philadelphians live in public space, and are old hands at street celebration. In this podcast recorded yesterday (click here), my thoughts turn toward all of us in the public space with which many Americans have little contact, and our collective mind.

The Philadelphia Phillies are the World Champions
There is much to say about this. Library shelves of things to say about this. I have lived in Philadelphia since 1982, and this is the first time The Fightin' Phils have climbed all the way to the top.

John McCain's soul has left and gone away
Eight years ago, the Republican South Carolina primary was a mudfest of Karl Rove dirty tricks, with John McCain as the bitter victim. The lesson he took away was to embrace the dark side. In this podcast (click here), we see that Senator McCain has not yet hit bottom.

Push Back
As we near the end of this Presidential campaign, the Republicans have begun to stoop lower than many thought they could. Last week, the McCain campaign released a press release entitled "Barack Obama's Friend Tried To Kill My Family." They have been using rumors started by the worst and most repulsive of provacateurs as talking points. In the podcast today (click here), I detail the truth about some of these rumors, the kind of people behind these slurs, and why Obama can't respond in kind, even if the real questionable associations are those of John McCain and Sarah Palin.
In my podcast I discuss Andy Martin, and as loathe as I am to do it, below is a link to the sleazy Fox News report that last allowed this man with the soul of a cockroach on the air:

"Monty Python Could Have Written This"
We should all, of course, be amazed that a lot of Americans don't get this....
