The Justice Department is now on Blue Skies, the flagship station of the Netroots Radio Network.
I'm Special Agent DJ Justice; and I'm manning the dials, spinning the discs, warbling the woofers, putting a slip in your hip and a trip to your hop.

And move and hold back
entering by the highroad through the words
and fall like a person hit by sleep
arriving at the place without light
And fall like a dead body falls
and find there the great enemy
and come to a tower all of stones
such that through it the earth opens
We pass between the martyrs and the high walls
even up there water is pouring out
then turning and fording again
sling the noose from the roof of the house
And each and every vapor spent
over winning and not losing
in which it stands caught out
fleet then catapults like a stone
Filling our view
whereupon another valley is revealed

Question: Who is your audience? What are you here for?
Answer: Tribal Alliances, Heart-felt Convictions, Passionate Reason, Random Abandon, Sustainable Civility and a kiss; to comfort the sad and the mad Ones; the Ones roaming the International section of the American Supermarket at night; or roaming the neglected streets looking for an angry malaprop to sink their teeth into; the Ones who seek without seeking and learn as much as they teach; the Ones who embrace and kiss and embrace again; the Ones who sing the song of the city and the ballads of the forest; the Ones who chant the rhythm of the sea and hum the melody of the desert; the Ones who sing the prayer of Her name and Her name is the World. Yes, those are the Ones.
