KIRO - Tonight 9pm - 1am

Erin Hart

Have we completely lost our sense of the separation of church and state? Why are the cable networks replaying the loop of Terri Schiavo over and over. Why is everyone exploiting her save her husband and those of us who would vastly rather leave her alone? But we cannot because these government tactics must be decried for what they are: a gross overreaching of the government into private agony. Can you see the marching column of extreme right wing nominations to the bench incoming to the Senate?

We'll talk about felon voting; state priorities; hope for equal rights and more locally.

Then we have a chance to talk to Kurt Eichenwald, author of "Conspiracy of Fools" about the folks who ran Enron into the ground and drove us all up the energy wall.

Speaking of which--why are gasoline prices so high, hummmmmm. Are we just taking more and more and rebelling less and less?

Check out Erin Hart Show on KIRO (now STREAMING).


I'll be visiting Erin's show tonight, probably after 10pm-ish (pst).

Directing DeGraw Music Video

Zach Braff

"Scrubs" star Zach Braff is returning to the director's chair. Braff, who wrote and directed "Garden State" last year, will direct the latest video from singer-songwriter Gavin DeGraw.

"Zach and I met at one of my shows and I was so flattered to hear he was a fan of my music," DeGraw said in a statement Friday. "He has a great vision for the `Chariot' video, and I'm really excited to work with him."

The video for "Chariot," the title track of DeGraw's debut album, is scheduled to shoot in Los Angeles on March 29.

Named FCC Chairman

Kevin Martin

The White House has appointed Kevin Martin chairman of the Federal Communications Commission. Martin, 38, has been a member of the FCC since 2001 and has voted against outgoing chairman and fellow Republican Michael Powell on several key issues. He also has emerged as an energetic critic of broadcast indecency, proposing heavy fines and calling for cable to institute a family-friendly programming tier.

Preps for Web Radio Push

Clear Channel

Clear Channel Communications plans to make a big push into Internet radio next month with a new music-performance series that will be syndicated weekly to hundreds of its local-station Web sites across the United States.

The radio giant also is upping its commitment to the streaming business by bringing the programing from all of its stations in the top 25 markets -- 300 stations in total -- to online listeners by May 1.

Each week a different act will perform five songs in an intimate, closed-studio setting in New York or Los Angeles. The format combines new songs, reinterpretations of hits and covers.

Clear Channel already streams 200 of its 1,200 stations. But without a coherent Internet strategy until now, it has been playing second fiddle in Web radio to the dominant online-only players.

Cancels Broadway Run

'Sweet Charity'

The musical "Sweet Charity," hobbled by star Christina Applegate's broken foot and weak ticket sales, has canceled its planned run on Broadway and will close after a final performance Sunday in Boston.

The $7.5 million production had been slated to begin preview performances here April 4 and to open April 21.

When Applegate broke her right foot during a March 11 performance in Chicago, Broadway veteran Charlotte d'Amboise took over for the show's 10-day run in Boston.

Band Changes Lineup

Russell Crowe

Russell Crowe's band is no more, but the Oscar-winning actor is still rocking. Crowe announced his band, Thirty Odd Foot of Grunts, "would seem to have dissolved/evolved." In a posting on the group's Web site, Crowe said a new album is forthcoming, but with a new lineup.

Thirty Odd Foot of Grunts was formed in 1992 and has been a frequent musical release for the actor. Crowe has remained committed to producing albums and touring despite his day job.

Crowe anticipates releasing the disc - which he describes as "soft, gentle, expressive" - by some method outside of the "formalized corporate structure of music."

Marks Decade of Dissent

Anarchist Bookfair

Ten years after it started, the Bay Area Anarchist Bookfair has become a popular rallying point for the far left, thanks to shared enemies like the Bush Administration and the Patriot Act.

What originally was a few radicals getting together to talk politics has become the focus of an entire weekend of dissident cultural events, from punk rock concerts to soccer games.

"The Bush era has been good for anarchist consumerism," says Joey Cain, 50, a longtime supporter.

All 75 merchants' tables were sold out in advance of Saturday's fair in Golden Gate Park, making the fair one of the largest such events in North America, along with Montreal's "Festival of Anarchy" each May. Vendors come from as far away as Europe to sell rare anarchist and other political books.

Banned From Having Pens

C-Murder

The lawyer for rapper C-Murder, who angered authorities by recording parts of his upcoming music video and compact disc behind bars, has agreed to take only a pencil into jailhouse meetings.

The rapper, whose real name is Corey Miller, has been inside the Jefferson Parish jail for more than three years on a second-degree murder charge in the killing of a 16-year-old inside a nightclub.

Ron Rakosky, Miller's attorney, was barred from bringing anything but a pencil and pad into jail. Rakosky objected, saying Sheriff Harry Lee was "illegally intruding on the right of counsel" by barring documents related to Miller's criminal defense.

Under a March 16 agreement, Rakosky can bring legal documents into the jail, but he can only use a pencil. Lee's attorney said pens were barred because they are hollow and can be used to carry song lyrics.

Shilling Solar on TV Show

Ahnold

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R-2 Passports) is scheduled to make a cameo appearance on the ABC television show "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" on Sunday to tout the use of solar electricity in homes and businesses.

The Republican governor will appear during Sunday night's episode, when a home is renovated with a solar photovoltaic system that allows the house to produce its own electricity, helping the owner to save on electricity bills, according to ABC's Web site and the San Francisco nonprofit Vote Solar.

Enjoys Revival

Hawaiian Language

"E heluhelu kakou," Nako`olani Warrington tells her third graders - let's read together.

But there's no need to translate at Ke Kula Kaipuni o Anuenue, a public immersion school where all instruction for the 350 students is in the Hawaiian language.

The school represents a turnaround for the native language, which appeared to be fading away 20 years ago. A 1983 survey estimated that only 1,500 people remained in Hawaii who could speak it, most of them elderly.

Today there are probably 6,000 to 8,000 Hawaiian language speakers throughout the state, most of them under 30, said Kalena Silva, professor of Hawaiian studies at the University of Hawaii-Hilo.

As a result, Hawaiian is the only indigenous language in the United States that showed growth in the 2000 census, said Verlieann Leimomi Malina-Wright, vice principal of Anuenue school. About 200,000 of Hawaii's 1.2 million people are of Native Hawaiian ancestry.

Some Germans Want It Back

Berlin Wall

Nearly a quarter of western Germans and 12 percent of easterners want the Berlin Wall back -- more than 15 years after the fall of the barrier that split Germany during the Cold War, according to a survey.

The results of the poll, published on Saturday, reflected die-hard animosities over high reunification costs lowering western standards of living and economic turmoil in the east.

The survey of 2,000 Germans by Berlin's Free University and pollsters Forsa found 24 percent of those living in western Germany want the Wall back -- double the eastern level.

In Berlin itself, 11 percent of westerners and 8 percent of easterners said "yes" when asked: "Would it be better if the Wall between East and West were still standing?".

The poll also found that 47 percent of the easterners agree with the statement that the West "acquired the east like a colony", while 58 percent of the westerners back the statement that "easterners tend to wallow in self-pity".

A female lemur climbs up a tree with her one-month-old twins riding along at the Buenos Aires Zoo, March 23, 2005. A lemur is a kind of primate related to simians, which is more arboreal, meaning they spend more of their time in trees and trees and bushes. Although lemurs are no longer being hunted as much as in the past, their survival is threatened because their natural forest habitats are being cut down for lumber and to clear lands for farming.
