RADIO--Hey America, thanks for the smallpox, thanks for government-sponsored genocide and, hey, extra thanks for those charming, feather-wearing squaws in the Macy's Day Parade. Now, get the other side of the story: A morning of history lessons and radical, political, Native American rock on KBOO. Although the heavy dose of white guilt may spoil the taste of your baked Indian squash at Thanksgiving dinner, today's dynamic show (hosted by Spider Moccasin) will give thanks to uncensored education.

MUSIC--Since you're kicking yourself for not buying oil when it was cheap, you might want to minimize the time spent in your chilly-ass house. But don't rage every night--you'll get the sniffles. We suggest cozying up with a hot Irish coffee and Royal City's acoustic music, which is sophisticated enough to justify going out, no matter what the weather. MS w/ Pseudo Six, the Caleb Kaluder Band

CRAZY CABARET--Bored by the holidays? Then prepare to have your socks knocked off by The Dina Martina Holiday Show. Similar to an upbeat Las Vegas revue, as performed by Bette Davis in What Ever Happened to Baby Jane, Dina takes the concept of "cabaret" and launches it into a hilariously new, whacked-out dimension.

CONSPIRACY THEORY--Michael Ruppert worked for the LAPD and the CIA, and claims to have witnessed the shipping of drugs and weapons overseas by multi-national corporations, as well as the CIA itself. While having made attempts to expose his findings to the U.S. government, he has been continually ignored. Hear his insight on the Bush and bin Laden families, and their involvement in the oil industry. If you didn't think it was possible to hate Bush more than you do already, it is. KS
