Hey everyone,

My latest Ring of Fire Radio interview is now up on my AUDIO page.

This week, Mike Papantonio and I discuss the Google and Verizon’s plans to destroy the free internet and get rid of net neutrality.

We also talk about the connection between the backwards Arizona immigration law and the private prison industry.

Fun stuff! And by “fun”, I mean “horrible”.

Prop 8, Fox News In The Front Row, Progressives And Obama: My Latest Ring Of Fire

matthewfilipowicz — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 01:36:26 +0000

Hey everyone,
My latest Ring of Fire Radio interview is now up on my AUDIO page.

This week’s show was live, and I was on for the whole first hour with David Bender where we ran down the news and took some calls from listeners.

We go over the Prop 8 ruling, the White House giving Fox News a front row seat and more. Then David and I debate the role of liberals and progressives in influencing the Obama Administration and Democrats.

It’s a really great talk. Hope you enjoy it!

Hey everyone,
Steve Stearns, the official photographer for the Accountants of Homeland Security, was also an official photographer for Netroots Nation in Las Vegas last week, and as a result, he snapped a great batch of photos from both my show and my satire panel. Check ‘em out!

Netroots Nation: Laughing Liberally Comedy Hour

Netroots Nation: Satire And Progressive Politics Panel

It was awesome to get to perform and do a panel with what amounted to an all star team of liberal and progressive comics. Lizz Winstead, Jamie Kilstein, Lee Camp, Baratunde Thurston, Katie Halper, Elon James White, Andy Cobb… Doesn’t get much more awesome than that.
