A Salute to General Weirdness
In brief
Instead of gloom and doom, we take note of events that are just, well, weird.
How about a plan to reduce carbon emissions in Australia by shooting wild camels? (Their burps and farts contain methane, you see.) How about a required history unit on Estee Lauder in Texas schools?
Plus journalist Conn Hallinan's "Are You Serious?" Awards, newspaper items from Connecticut, and satire (or is it?) by The Onion, Roy Zimmerman, and George Carlin.

George Carlin performs a lesser-known sketch, "The Book Club."
Roy Zimmerman sings "America."
New World Notes is produced under the auspices (Latin for "radar") of WWUH-FM, a community service of that beacon of light in darkest Connecticut, the University of Hartford.
You can listen to any installment of New World Notes online or else download it (as an mp3 audio file) for later listening. The show is archived at both radio4all.net and (from #90 onwards) The Internet Archive. Either link should get you a reverse-chrono listing of available installments. Or browse the show's Web site: Each installment has a page, and each page has links to the recorded audio. See the gray sidebar on the right ("CONTENTS [Links]") for a table of contents.
Series overview: Political and social commentary in a variety of genres. Exploring the gap between what we want ... and what they're trying to make us settle for.

Is this a joke? Right-wing politics has gotten so preposterous in recent years, there's no telling.
