• Mimi German of No Nukes NW and Radcast.org on how the peace sailboat she and Harvey Wasserman of Solartopia were on – the Golden Rule – was intentionally rammed by a Washington State police boat during a protest of war ships.

• Byron DeLear checks it with perspective on the release of a long-suppressed report by the EPA on the West Lake Landfill that proves the Just Moms, the Coldwater Creek activists, and others who supported them were right.

Numnutz of the Week:
