Last weekend, our guests included:

  • Kai Wright is a Brooklyn writer and editor whose work focuses on the politics of sex, race, and health. He is author of "Drifting Toward Love: Black, Brown, Gay and Coming of Age on the Streets of New York" (Beacon Press). Kai's most recent writing includes the American Prospect article, "America's AIDS Apartheid: The domestic HIV/AIDS epidemic is increasingly black and Southern -- and spiraling out of control" and the Nation story "The Subprime Swindle: How banks stole black America’s hard-won wealth and gambled it away in risky investment schemes."
  • C. Peter Timmer is a visiting professor with the Program on Food Security and Environment at Stanford University, and non-resident fellow with the Center for Global Development in Washington, DC. This week, he wrote "Japan and a Solution to the World Rice Crisis" for Japan Focus.
  • Russell Carollo is a Pulitzer Prize winning investigative reporter who now writes for the Sacramento Bee. Russell just wrote the amazing "Suspect Soldiers" series which follows the story of "16 Iraq-era soldiers and Marines who ran into trouble with the law and/or the military. Some had troubled histories before they joined the service, while others carried that trouble through their service and back into civilian life."
  • kitteninfinite is a member of Sex Workers Outreach Project Chicago, a grassroots organization dedicated to improving the lives of current and former sex workers in the Chicago area, on and off the job. SWOP-Chicago is a political group with a decriminalization agenda, the human trafficking issue (or the anti-prostitution industrial complex as kitteninfinite likes to call it) and anti-prostitution policies that SWOP claims are diverting billions in AIDS relief funding for abstinence-only missionaries.

Irregular correspondent were:

  • Kevan Harris, 'The Radical Pessmist,' gave a report live from Turkey ...
  • Jeff Dorchen delivered a Moment of Truth entitled, "Thomas Friedman Versus The Methodist Fish Fry" ...
  • and Dan ' The Auto Man' Litchfield reported on what's happening in the automotive industry, and he also gave us his insight on T. Boone Pickens and Al Gore's plans for an overhaul of the US energy industry.
