Mel & Floyd, December 3, 2004
|
|
by Sarah Turner
|
|
Whew! After a Thanksgiving hiatus (sorry about that) and massive Internet problems, I've managed - once again - to post Madison's favorite comedy duo, the tag-team Mel & Mr. Pants, here on Madison Indymedia. Many mindless minions died to bring you this week's episode, but as you'll see, the ends justify the means.
Apologies for the late start - everybody has to do their laundry. The show begins one minute in, approximately, with Mel & Mr. Pants giggling over something involving a meteorite. |

ABC's 20/20 Got it Wrong in Matthew Shepard Piece
|
|
by John L. Quinlan
|
|
|
A critique of the Friday, Nov. 26th episode of the ABC News show, 20/20, which claims that its story demonstrates that the 1998 murder of Matthew Shepard in Laramie, Wyoming was not a homophobia-based hate crime. The author bases his comments on a preview copy of the show he viewed in conjunction with an interview in Wednesday's WI State Journal. Note: He will be the guest on Madison talk radio station WXXM 92.1 at 5:15 pm on Friday, Nov. 26th, and will be part of a story airing on WKOW-TV's 10pm news that night. |

Vignette reflection on vigil at SOA/Whinsec written while in fear that the murder of Danilo Anderso, State Prosecutor in Venezueala, may have been committed by an Soa/Whinsec graduate and thus is my fault for paying taxes.

Dear Red State Cousin - Keep Your God Off My Country, Body and Earth
|
|
by Dr. Glen Barry
|
|
Earth Meanders
The following essay is a response to the recent American Presidential election, in which differences in moral values between the liberal "blue states" and conservative "red states" were widely perceived as decisive. I argue below in a letter to my "red state cousin" that environmental conservation is the ultimate moral issue, and insist that born again Christians keep their God off my country, body and Earth. |

Bigots clobbered by jubilant horde of Madisonians!
|
|
by Grey Owl
|
|
|
On Thursday this week, local newspapers and news websites proclaimed Fred Phelps's imminent arrival in Madison. Phelps, a fervently homophobic right-wing "Christian Reverend," is notorious around the country for his sickeningly bigoted godhatesfags.com web site and for his pickets at various pro-queer (or even vaguely queer-related) events around the country. Phelps and his Kansas-based Westboro Baptist congregation make it their crusade to protest all forms of queer activism in the nation. |

Mel & Floyd, November 19, 2004
|
|
by Sarah Turner
|
|
 This week's edition of Mel & Floyd features cross-dressing teens; a national lard shortage; John Ashcroft's successor, Torture Boy Gonzales; the Teamsters' pension fund run into the ground by "officials"'; US policy in Iraq: "the beatings will continue until morale improves"; species extinction; and so much more. No monkey news this week, though there is a strange "time warp" and a bit of static towards the beginning of the show. (Sorry for that - the signal clears up shortly, and the show continues uniterrupted.)
Listen to Mel & Floyd from 1:00pm - 2:00pm every Friday on 89.9 FM, Madison's only community radio station, WORT.

Here are some pictures from the sit-in and subsequent arrests by Madison's finest. |

Bush Administration Shuns Latest Global Warming Studies
|
|
by Michael T. Neuman
|
|
 "This study is the smoking gun. Skeptics, polluting industries and President Bush can't run away from this one," said Philip E. Clapp, president, National Environmental Trust (NET), in assessing the results of the latest global warming impact study: the "Arctic Climate Impact Assessment" report.
"The President can't hide behind scientific uncertainty after this report. This is going to require a reassessment of the Administration's global warming policy. It is a top issue for our European allies, and if he wants any level of increased cooperation in Iraq, they are going to want him to give on this one," Mr. Clapp said.
Yet President George W. Bush continues to stand by his rejection of the Kyoto Treaty, as is holding fast to his rejection of mandatory curbs on greenhouse gases that are blamed for global warming, the president's advisors claim. |

Student-led Coalition Bake Sale Protests Regents' Misplaced Priorities, November 5, 2004
|
|
by Wendy
|
|
 In response to the Board of Regents proposal to hike tuition an additional 2% over two years solely to pay for raises for top UW administrators, the growing coalition of concerned students, TAs, and faculty held a bake sale and press conference at 8:30 am on Friday, Nov. 5th. Coalition members attempted to make a deal with the Regents: the students would give the Regents the proceeds from the bake sale (maybe $20) in exchange for the Regents giving back the hundreds of thousands of dollars they are planning to give to the administrators and instead using it for new classes, new diversity programs, good contracts for all UW workers, and a rebate on tuition. |

 This week on Mel & Floyd: Mel & Mr. Smartypants perform a postmortem on the election. The show opens with "Hail to the f�hrer", a fitting tribute to Our Great Leader's triumph on Tuesday. They discover that an IQ ranking of the 50 states ranks "blue states" as smartest and "red states" as, well, less informed. They explore the possibilities of a move to Canada. And they tell the story of a Portage woman who exhumed her dead boyfriend - along with the beer and cigarettes he was buried with. All that and more on this week's edition of Mel & Floyd.
