Our revolting neighbors are up to something or

Find out this Saturday morning, August 21, as
“This Is Hell!” talks to a guy who just got
back from a visit with the Mexico Solidarity
Project in the Chiapas, a Nunavut newspaper

hopeless war on drugs that could be pulling
us into a real war in Colombia.
We’ll be interviewing Tom Hansen, director of
the Chiapas Media Project (http://www.cmp.org).
Tom’s not allowed in Mexico so Danny Postel,
who just returned from the Chiapas which he
visited at the invitation of the Mexico
Solidarity Network

Big media wants you to think of Hollywood stars
and athletes as America’s heroes. It just makes
sense. The Hollywood and the sports industry
give Big Media ratings.
Yet, there have been Americans who have given
their lives for the Democratic process, and
their stories go quietly, or completely ignored.
“This Is Hell!”
In our special live Labor Day weekend broadcast
this Saturday morning, September 4, from 9 a.m.
till 10:30 a.m. (central time) “This Is Hell!”
celebrates the prophet of American community
organizing, Saul Alinsky. “This Is Hell!” is
broadcast every Saturday on WNUR 89.3 FM and
live on the web at http://www.wnur.org. Just
click on “live webcast.”
Your bitter blind broke gap-toothed host Chuck
Mertz interviews Bob Hercules and Bruce Orenstein,
co-producers of “The Democratic Process: Saul
Alinsky & His Legacy.” This documentary will be
broadcast on Chicago’s local PBS affiliate, WTTW
Channel 11, on Labor Day evening, Monday,
September 6, at 9 p.m. Other PBS stations around
the country will begin airing it in November.
Find out more about Bob and Bruce under “This
Saturday” at our website

Weird wacky schedule this week - but why not?

about 2 p.m. till 4 as well.
In the first early morning hour-long show,
you’ll hear Jeff Dorchen deliver his Moment of

Breaking news, the morning's headlines, This

at 9 a.m
Then sometime after the game, around 2:00 or
2:15 p.m. Saturday afternoon, “This Is Hell!”
will return with a live interview and a couple
of interviews from our vault.
Your bitter blind broke gap-toothed host Chuck
Mertz interviews Leah Bobal, associate editor
and reporter for Inside Publications, a
neighborhood newspaper chain here in Chicago.
This weekend the Lincoln Square neighborhood
hosts Germanfest, an annual Oktoberfest-like
celebration that draws thousands from all
over the Chicagoland area.
But behind this happy facade are vacant stores,
shady landlords, conflicts-of-interest, hincty
politics, allegations of mob-like corruption,
and the evil long-horned Asian beetle.
So before you go down to the neighborhood to
choke down brats and beers, give Leah a listen
as she clues us in on what’s really happening
in Lincoln Square.
...and from our vault...
- Peter Phillips, director of Project Censored
and author of "Censored 1998: The News That
Didn't Make the News." Since Project Censored
started monitoring the news in 1976, they have
touched on stories that would in later years
finally be covered by the mainstream, like the
tobaccoindustry's marketing to kids, hazards of
nuclear power, fraudulent safety tests, and the
monopolization of the media. You can check out
their web site at
http://www.sonoma.edu/projectcensored
- Liane Casten, chair of Chicago Media Watch,
will fill us in on what's happening with
bio-engineered and genetically modified foods,
a story that is being ignored by the American
media while getting great attention all over
the rest of the world. Liane, author of "Breast
Cancer: Poisons, Profits and Prevention" (Common
Courage Press) will also discuss the recent
findings concerning silicon breast implants.
Their website is
http://www.mediawatch.org/chicago
- Dennis Bernstein and Leslie Kean, authors of
Henry Hyde's Moral Universe: Where More Than
Time and Space are Warped" (Common Courage).
Yeah, it's a bit like shooting fish in a barrel,
but apparently "Big Media" can't even find the
barrel.
...and maybe we can get to some tapes on human
secularism, sex workers’ rights or the
hopelessness of the war on drugs.
The September Illinois Entertainer refered to
us as a “crew of miscreants” and if you want

Well I got the keys after a very stressful day of
work on friday, and the doorbell does not work.
so it starts off with a stumbling block but with
a few phone calls i finally get into the place.
The toliet does not flush, is the first thing
on the list as i can't live there without one,
my friend onion comes over to help me, and we
get a few trips in, moving the delicate and
breakable stuff, but soon the rains come and i
can't move across the street in the rain, things
will get trashed, so at nine PM he leaves, and i
am there tearing down the bed frame and other
packing, i pass out around midnight for a few
hours and wake before dawn.
Saturday starts in a blur and haze, i get a
call from the movers, they want to come six hours
early, but i am not ready, they can't ask me
without any notice, so i say keep the schedule,
which i knew was asking for trouble, no fresh
legs, and then they were two hours late. i knew i
was in for a screwing, but how bad would it be?
at 3:15 on saturday we started the major
furniture, the heavy stuff, they decided to take
it all down, load the truck and drive it across
the street and bring it up, took alot longer than
we thought and cost me way more than i planned,
and still it was not nearly empty. THIS IS HELL |

dumped, two glasses broke, a few more little
stuff nothing major. my stereo cabinet got a big
scratch on the top of it, oh well. i took another
hot bath, watched a great nascar race from
charlotte with twenty five major crashes, the
most in nascar history for one race. I passed out
hard.
woke early monday morning with the weather
nice, it was going to be harder to get help, I
start alone for two hours and i am completely
soaked sore and dehydrated already, can't drink
enough water, i am working like a madman, finally
Matt shows up for a couple of hours, and it helps
just having someone with me, but he has top split
early and do something else, so i alone for two
more hours, it is really tough as each stair
feels like mount everest. i am so cashed when sam
knocks on the door and what a great sight to see
some help, so it is the two of us and i get a
boost of energy, i start calling everyone i know,
i need legs, but most friends are partying or
with family, but Tony comes thru big time and it
was his birthday (which i did not know) I felt
bad but he said it was cool, that everyday is his
birthday and he appreciates all i do for him, and
how easy i make life for my friends. he busted
ass and we all were really humping, and tony was
giving me the added incentive of JUST THROW IT
AWAY, and so stuff i would always save got
tossed, ten old wireless phones, two old tape
decks, two scanners, and just lots of stuff. the
garbage pickers were out in full force as it was
a mass exodus from my building, the long termers
just had so much stuff, the apartments being so
big, and all of us being there so long, made it
too comfortable. so i have to pare down, big
time, and as soon as i get a little organized, i
will start selling off stuff again.
ok continued soon |

Hope you had a great 40th birthday, as france
declined the EC or is it the EU. i heard the
dutch are going to vote it down tomorrow.
simon you were there in spirit. not one of my
friends had to lift anything heavy or awkward,
just lots of stairs, i left the heavy stuff to
the pro's. yes the salt is awesome,i can't
believe how much it helps, i hope to be out of
hell by tonight and start redoing my entire life.
i have signed up for a new phone and computer
system, i will have high speed DSL, call waiting,
call ID, voice mail, three way calling, no busy
signals, able to talk on the phone and use the
computer at the same time, what an upgrade. new
house has light switches everywhere, and it is
funny how i keep trying to reach for the string
to turn on the lights, and ceiling fans, but my
space is less, but i will deal with it. it smells
so fresh and clean.
so getting out of hell, i need some fun, some
lovin, some beauty, some nature, "i used to just
want but now I NEED" buzzcocks 1979 |
