Yen-Ming ChenThe Coffee House - September 2008 (2008)

SARAH PALIN PUTS INCEST ON THE AGENDA
The GOP candidate for vice president opposes abortion rights even in cases of rape and incest. Some 3,000 minor rape victims get pregnant each year in the US, about one out of 15 girls between 5th and 8th grades is sexually abused and over one-third of their attackers is a family member. In 2001 we spoke with Risa Shaw, the editor of the anthology, Not Child’s Play, about coerced sibling incest. We invite Sarah Palin should tune in. (Host: ark Cohen)

THE ANSWER MY FRIEND…
As the clamor grows on the Right to “Drill Baby Drill”, clean energy wind farms are spreading across the land, and at sea. A major project, involving 78 windmills, is being built off the Delaware coast, near the Maryland border, by Bluewater Wind. The wind farm will provide electricity to 130,000 homes and, says Bluewater’s Jim Lanard, a second wind farm is under consideration for off-shore Maryland. (Host: Mike Tidwell)

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE OIL STOP FLOWING?
That’s the subject of author Edwin Black’s latest exploration. He argues that if Iran or terrorists were to blockade the Straits of Hormuz, and the supply of oil were seriously impeded, a cataclysm could quickly follow. He’s got The Plan to avoid a catastrophic outcome but Black’s not firing ay silver bullets. (Host: Mark Cohen)
