Micada and I will be back in the house tonight, Monday, Sept. 8 for our bi-weekly Chicagoland radio series; Joystyxx Radio.
Every other Monday evening from 8 to 10 pm we’re kickin’ it old-school, new-school, and everything in between-school over the airwaves of Loyola University’s WLUW, 88.7 FM in Chicago and on the web at www.wluw.org.
3 years and 3 days ago John McCain and George W. Bush ate cake to celebrate McCain’s 69th birthday. At that very moment hurricane Katrina was bringing devastation to the gulf coast.
Now it’s election season, and almost exactly 3 years later the Republican National Convention was due to 
begin today, but another monster hurricane has disrupted the plan. I hope that Gustav is a more benevolent beast then Katrina was, but this new storm does bring a silver lining. It reminds us of Katrina and the way she was handled. Gustav shines a light once again on the Bush administration’s horrible bungling of the disaster. Not only before, during, and immediately after the event, but the continuing botches that have left FEMA-trailer-park 
refugee camps spread across the region to this day. And now those camps themselves have been evacuated as Gustav begins to bear down on the coast.
Coincidently my friend, filmmaker Lucia Small, was here in Chicago this weekend for the debut theatrical run of her new documentary “The Axe in the Attic“, a film about Katrina.
If you need a sweatshirt, a thong, a wall clock, or a lunch box, and at the same time would like to support the Mashit brand, this is just the place to feed two birds with one scone. ->
