I haven’t gotten to go to the phones for weeks on the KPFK<\/a>\/Pacifica Radio<\/a> BradCast<\/i>, so that’s what we did on this week’s show. No guests. Just me, a few rants, lots of callers (and, of course, Desi Doyen and the latest Green News Report<\/i><\/a>).<\/p>\n

The rants included more on the mad media misinformation\/neo-con war-baiting over Ukraine (which, thankfully, it appears Obama no longer seems to be falling for or taking the bait on); the Democrats woeful 2014 campaign plans<\/a> and — the one that got ALL the phone lines ringing off the hook — the rapidly increasing media disinformation about e-cigs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lots<\/i> of good calls, but my favorite on that last was from “David in Los Angeles”. I think his opinion may be a nearly perfect distillation of the entire, insane backlash against<\/i> the public health miracle<\/i> that is vaping. David describes his concern: “We don’t want to encourage the behavior of smoking, even if its not harmful.” My question to him is, “Why?” He explains: “because it’s the perceived<\/i> behavior that is negative.” You’ll have to tune in to see how that<\/i> call, and all the others, worked out.<\/p>\n

It was a very lively show this week. Hope you’ll enjoy it…<\/p>\n
