The battle for free radio continues

Listener-sponsored community radio almost made me lose control of my vehicle the other day. There I was, peacefully listening to intriguingly
funny British accents on the British Broadcasting Corporation World Service News Hour simulcast on KPFT-FM 90.1 and zipping by 8 a.m.
traffic, when all of a sudden the disc jockeys barged onto the air and began pleading for money. 
 

Ignorance ad hate go hand in hand

I had the unfortunate displeasure of meeting "Minister" Quanell X this past Saturday while protesting with some conservative friends in front of
a Tony Sanchez event on Blodgett Street. I was not impressed, to say the least. He stood there shaking my hand while "enlightening" me, or
so he thought. He is a smart man, I will admit, though closed-minded and bitter.
