The Latest Release: The Ballad of the Brothers Krongard |
In yet another sordid tale so familiar to the morally bankrupt Bush administration, we learn about the brothers Krongard, Howard "Cookie" and Alvin "Buzzy". Cookie, the State Department's Inspector General was being questioned by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee for not seriously investigating Blackwater, the infamous security contractor, which thanks to Jeremy Scahill, the brilliant investigative reporter, was uncovered as a rogue firm answering to no one. The committee's investigation revealed that Buzzy, Cookie's brother, was a Blackwater board member, which angered Cookie, who vehemently denied it. A letter from Erik Prince, Blackwater's founder and CEO, welcoming Buzzy to the Blackwater board was produced in these riveting hearings. Cookie called his brother during recess and indeed learned that Buzzy had a significant financial interest in the company and was a member of the board. Cookie then recused himself from any matters pertaining to Blackwater, but tried to weasel out of the stickiness by saying that they "have gone to great lengths to keep their relationships separate". Problem was, Buzzy contradicted Cookie's assertions, saying that he absolutely told him of his connection to Blackwater. Shortly after, Howard "Cookie" Krongard resigned as Inspector General of the State Department. No one has been named to replace him. |

is Too Good for Them In this song, Papa pulls together many of the threads that reveal the dissolution of free speech, the murder of a soldier for speaking the truth, and the ascension to the Supreme Court of one of the Florida vote thugs. music | lyrics |

We
Are an Unruly People The second collection of Papa Dish favorites. A record of that slog from 2004-2006. Hopefulness about a new election, devastation with defeat...anger, sadness, disbelief. Then, there are the local political corruption stories that Brooklyn is famous for. It's time for a revolution...local and national. Song List |
