Guest i think often times the conventional wisdom is wrong, and the conventional wisdom in money and politics you essentially have good intentioned government officials who who are being influenced or attempts to influence them by corporations or public unions and if we can only figure out a way to seal off essentially these Public Officials from this outside influences, everything would be great and so i call this the Jimmy Stewart mr. Smith goes to washington scenario. And certainly that does happen. You have wellintentioned politicians being tempted by outside forces. But my experience over the last 20 years or so in washington politics researching and writing, more often than not the opposite is true. You have a lot of corporations, other lot of entities that essentially want to be left alone by the federal government, and you have politicians or people in the executive branch who are looking for ways in which to enhance their services or the needs to get corporations involved.

Well catch up with the group and filipinoamerican history month, with a Live Performance in our studio today. Well, the lack of opportunities for asianamericans and Pacific Islanders in the world of standup comedy is nothing to laugh at. I happen to believe standup comics are important to the way society looks at events and ourselves. Maybe were starting to see some progress, and an upcoming comedy show in San Francisco on november 2 is an important showcase, and just as important, an event to have a good time and laugh about stuff. With me right now are the two cofounders of desi comedy festival. Samson koletkar was born in mumbai and raised jewish, comedy roots if ive ever heard one. And heres more, he earned a masters in computer software, fulfilling his parents dream, then came to San Francisco, is now chasing his own dream. He is also the founder of comedy oakland.
