Double A takes charge on Occupy the Microphone as he and the rest of the gang take on these subjects:...

Ted Nugent, the Rock and Roll Slimeball
Alice Cooper, Ted Nugent, Kid Rock, Gene Simmons, Meatloaf...how in the world did these (and other rock stars) turn out so conservative, and how do we respond to it?

Drink This!
In Alice in Wonderland, Alice drank from a vial labeled "Drink this", but there was nothing which said "Rub this below your equator." But in a North Carolina prison it was decided that inmates should drink Habenero hot sauce and then put it on their genitals to entertain the guards.

STRIKE!
Dock workers in California are on strike and the War Resisters League gives a peace prize to dock workers in Egypt who refused to ship US made poison gasses to a war zone.

Tax & spend or borrow & spend?
As we rush towards the so called "fiscal cliff" we talk about taxes, spending, and priorities for real people. Meanwhile, the Mayor of Newark NJ begins a week on food stamps.

Pushing and shoving for education
In Greenville SC parents were lined up to enroll their children in an elementary school with a special focus on engineering. When the bell rang these parents rushed the school doors, injuring at least one parent.
