Jim Champas is one of my best pals who lives in Grand Rapids, Michigan. We hung out this past weekend and talked about gay culture, heirloom tomatoes, cocaine use, retarded catholics, and wine.
I met Jim about 7 years ago when I got a job as a graphic designer for the Archdiocese of Chicago, or God Inc. as I like to call it. What IS an Archdiocese anyways?
Jeff Key joined the army to serve his country for what he thought was a noble cause. But, after service in Iraq, he's concluded that this war is corrupt and unjustifiable. Jeff now spends his time fighting to support his army buddies by being a vocal critic and activist against the Bush administration's policies.
Here at the Feast of Fools, we believe that "Supporting the Troops" should mean bringing them home and giving them good health care, not blindly following any President's policies.
On today's show we continue our coverage of the Peace Movement started by Cindy Sheehan at Camp Casey, in Crawford, Texas, located right in front of President Bush's vacation ranch home. Listen to fabulous interviews with an Army Vet named Rick, a young activist named Andrew, and an Iraq Vet named Jeff Key, who recently came out as gay on CNN.
Bonus: A letter from Sean, a serviceman in the Navy written aboard a naval carrier.
