*much shortened but mega worthy rousing 18 minutes*

The world is a lonelier stage without you but we accept the baton you pass to us to deepen our dedication to fierce no holding back humor in service to democracy: www.thoughttheater.com and to whom this week’s radio show is dedicated.

Her last published words:

“We are the people who run this country. We are the deciders. And every single day, every single one of us needs to step outside and take some action to help stop this war. Raise hell.

Think of something to make the ridiculous look ridiculous. Make our troops know we’re for them and trying to get them out of there. Hit the streets to protest Bush’s proposed surge. If you can, go to the peace march in Washington on Jan. 27. We need people in the streets, banging pots and pans and demanding, “Stop it, now!””
