Pot Shots: The Humiliation of Clifford Robinson
The facts, as stated by the AP May 12: "New Jersey forward Clifford Robinson was suspended five games without pay by the NBA on Friday after violating terms of the league's drug policy for the second time in two seasons.

The Lone Protester
A powerful statement can be made by one lone protester. People often think they have to wait to *follow* someone else leading a protest, or for someone else to *join* them, before they can protest properly. But my street performer mentality says there is no time like now to launch a protest, anywhere. Street performers do not like to *wait* for someone to tell them where they can perform. And it would behoove the honest dissidenter to embrace similar sentiments....

Controversial Comedy
One year I was doing a song called “Vasectomy,” and I decided to make it a circus on stage. The signer was signing crazy stuff, like “Vasectomy, just like a navel orange, I’ve been freed, it’s all juice, and there’s no seed! Vasectomy, what a vas deferens it would be!” And the sign for vasectomy was this sort of scissor snipping right at the groin, which was entertaining, as well. But then I brought Hacki Ginda (http://www.hackifun.com/) into the mix, to do some miming of the song too. Hacki ...
