Thursday 14 August '08 show
- Guest: Kristan Hawkins, Students for Life. Does the new Planned Parenthood ad targeting teens about oral sex cross the line? She's offended by the videos on takecaredownthere.org web site put up by Planned Parenthood, Oregon where kids of any age could see it, but she's only upset because it is public funded - he organization does get some public funds. She is calling for defunding of Planned Parenthood.
- Bumper Music: Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This),Eurythmics (video).
- Why can we talk about murder that few do, but not about sex that most do?
- Article: Georgia War a Neocon Election Ploy? Robert Scheer.
"Is it possible that this time the October surprise was tried in August, and that the garbage issue of brave little Georgia struggling for its survival from the grasp of the Russian bear was stoked to influence the U.S. presidential election?
Before you dismiss that possibility, consider the role of one Randy Scheunemann, for four years a paid lobbyist for the Georgian government who ended his official lobbying connection only in March, months after he became Republican presidential candidate John McCain

From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
From Screwed:
"Thom Hartmann’s book explains in simple language and with concrete research the details of the Neo-con’s war against the American middle class. It proves what many have intuited and serves to remind us that without a healthy, employed, and vital middle class, America is no more than the richest Third World country on the planet."
