This is David Cross in his HBO special, The Pride is Back. Perhaps you know him from Mr. Show, or Arrested Development. Or Waiting for Guffman, or Space Ghost. He gets around.
He was a first investor in Kickstarter. Went to Emerson College in Boston, too.
Mark Meadows & 3 Co-Sponsors Move to “Fire” Speaker John Boehner of The United States Congress!!!!!
This New Resolution by Mark Meadows and 3 co-sponsors, if passed, will act to oust Republican Speaker of the U.S. House John Boehner; and any member of the U.S. Congress can be voted in to replace him – even a Democrat!!! It does not matter if there are more Republicans than Democrats in the U.S. House – this is all about how members of the U.S. Congress are being bullied by the current Speaker of the House, John Boehner. John Boehner is behaving like a totalitarian tyrant!
Thanks to the English as a Second Language Summer Class at Northfield Mount Hermon for coming to the WVEW studio, playing their soundscape of the Farmer’s Market, sharing their podcasts, and being generally incredible.

The Southeastern Vermont Watershed Alliance (SeVWA) had its fourth monitoring day for the summer of 2015 on Wednesday, July 29th. Our sites on the Saxtons River and Sacketts Brook received significant rainfall in the day before sampling and 5 of our 27 sites tested above the recommended “suitability to swim” bacteria level set by Vermont and the EPA. It is generally recommended to wait 24-48 hours after a significant rainfall to resume swimming in lakes and streams, so keep that in mind when making weekend plans on the water. As the summer progresses you can use the charts we publish to make informed decisions about where it is safer to swim or boat based on which sites have high bacteria counts after rainfall or tend to always have high bacteria counts.
Blasting operations on the north side of the new bridge will begin on August 6th or 7th. Roughly 15 separate 10-minute blasts will be needed to complete the work. The blasting will be conducted on weekdays for approximately 3 weeks; the target time for the blasts is between 1:30-2:00 pm. The contractor will need 5 minutes to verify clear lanes of travel. To ensure travelers’ safety, rolling roadblocks will be implemented on I91 in each direction. Sound impacts associated with the blasting will be minimal. More details to follow.
I-91
See above re blasting scheduled to start on August 6th or 7th.
WASHINGTON, July 30 – Addressing a rally outside the Capitol to mark the 50th anniversary of Medicare, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) today announced that he will introduce legislation to provide Medicare-for-all health insurance.
“We need to expand Medicare to cover every man, woman and child as a single-payer national health care program,” Sanders told a rally held by National Nurses United in a park near the Capitol.
Jim Gilmore has decided that you need to update your list of who is running for president, and add his name:
“This race is running differently than previous presidential races, that’s one reason why I’m encouraged to get in.”
If you were at the Farmer’s Market last Saturday, you may have noticed a group of teens wandering around recording various sounds. Intrigued, WVEW asked what they were doing. The resulting conversation led to a special live-in studio program to be presented Friday morning (July 31st), from about 8am to 10am.
The students, from Northfield Mount Herman’s summer session, will present and discuss their ‘soundscape’ project.

Not in newspapers, Berkeley Breathed quit those over censorship, but Donald Trump entering the presidential race was just too rich to pass up, so he’s been releasing them on Facebook. Anyone else happy to have something to make you spray your coffee in the morning?
