From the looks of things, it appears that there will be no 1st hour pop in for tonight's SNP, giving Ian an unfettered hour to sink or swim with callers and e-mails. Sounds intriguing.

Meanwhile, for those of you who dug last week's "The Many Faces of Ian Punnett", we present to you week 2, where Ian sports the ever popular, amongst art teachers and coffee shop denizens, "soul patch" ...

Tis 1 AM, bring on the Punnett !

Punnett always sounds like he is just finishing something when he starts the show.

He's already on the topic of the anniversary of 911. He rightfully says it has been eclipsed by Katrina.

Hyping Red Elk. I'm looking forward to this one. Ian can't say "contrarian", in a humorous moment. Wow, Red went on a 69 day fast. Damn. Wild vision quest there.

Ian's going to share his thoughts on 911. Then Open Lines. Now, news.

Dogs barking for miles in New Orleans. That sucks. Relief is on the way for the stranded pets. Speaking as a hamster owner, I have little hope for my diminutive animal friends.

Some guy claims that dogs will be shot if not rescued by Monday. I'm not sure how much validity that has.

Some lady claims there is a video on the internet that shows a cop shooting dogs. Geez. Stop depressing me, Ian.

Ian bumbles like a moron trying to say something about the "return of mosquitos". Wow. That was funny. I totally lost the point of what he was saying.

Mexican Military is on its way. Great. Ian claims this is what Kathleen Keating predicted, causing Aspie to flip a wig somewhere.

Oil profits to exceed 110 million dollars a day. What the f*ck ?! Oh well, I barely drive and have a Toyota. I filled up the day before the hurricane and still have half a tank.

Divers find burn marks on broken levee walls. Unsubstantiated, says Ian. Sound like an inside job ?

Cops sealed bridge during Katrina evacuation. File under, "cops are morons". Sound like real scumbags. Ian says these stories get him thinking of how racism was involved. Uh oh.

Bruce Babbitt, some politician clown, is talking about rebuilding NO. He wants NO as an Island. Sounds like an acid junkie.

Ian craps on FEMA head Michael Brown.

Timothy sends in a question. (This is not me) regarding "bio labs near NO".

Ian has no idea. He says something about a Japanese scientist named Omoto, I think. He says humans control water with their mind. Get him on Coast, dammit ! Ian reads some blather sent by Omoto. Ian managed to work in a reference to "Mr.Roboto", earning my unending kudos.

Nasty story about a worm that eats fish via living in its mouth. Ugh. Nasty worm has migrated to the UK.

Mystery in Natick, MA, near BoA HQ. A giant stone elephant has been stolen. Sounds like a nice little mystery. Ian tries a bad joke.

COMMERCIAL BREAK

As you read this, the Season Premiere of binnall of america : audio, Season One is available @ binnallofamerica.com, a one hour discussion with Jim Marrs, touching on JFK, UFOs, and Secret societies. It's a fetivus of binnall proportions and its available in two 30 minute MP3s ... right now ! Next week we roll out Part 2, where we discuss Remote Viewing, 911, and some other esoteric tidbits.

END OF BREAK

#1 e-mail from listeners to Ian is about the Coast to Coast singles group he mentioned it. He's reading some. They sound creepy. I may have to check this out.

E-mail from "Tim" who says Ian's intro is weak and he looks like Paul McCartney. (Again not me)

E-mail re: geese flying due north.

E-mail re: some dude says he sent 500 bucks for Katrina recovery.

Ian segues from that to some 911 thoughts. He laments for the families of the victims. It sounds like he is reading a poem of sorts. Yeah, it's a poem. Egads. Noory has a challenger for "Poet Laureaute of C2C" and Ian writes his own stuff !

Ouch, this is getting a little long in the tooth. Yup, growing awful. He's easing into some bumper music. Poem grade : B-

COMMERCIAL BREAK

Lesley is taking a much deserved break this week and in her place we will be running a "Classic Grey Matters". Which one will it be ? Tune in to binnallofamerica.com on Tuesday to find out ! Meanwhile, stop by Lesley's blog for her esoteric musings : http://thedebrisfield.blogspot.com/

END OF BREAK

Ian says we are "taking it to the streets" with Open Lines. CBS ran a rerun of an episode of "Price is Right" where the prize was "a trip to NO and a speedboat". Wow.

COMMERCIAL BREAK

It appears that Khyron has gotten his legs back and is up and running over at http://www.khyron.net/. He's got an update on his #8 experiment, lots of Sci Fi Friday coverage, a nice story about the MN State Fair, and a bunch of other stuff. He informs me that "Ghost Files" may return on Wednesday to binnallofamerica.com. I'll have my light-stream backpack ready.

END OF BREAK

East of the Rockies : Gary in New Hampshire. Gary sounds sick.

He wants to talk about "pure, clean, energy". He wants a UN project. That'll work.

Ian craps on the UN. Good for him. Gary says it is a necessity. Ian slams the UN again. Ian blows him off.

Wildcard line : Rose. Rose is in NYC. She has 3 points re: Katrina.

She relates a story from a sister of the Neville brothers. Solid source. She's rambling.

The Neville sister apparently stole a bus. Where is this going ?! Rose says people shot in the air to get attention. Ian says that's a bad idea. Rose thankfully agrees.

Ian thankfully starts to cut her down. She wants to talk about the Superdome. She alleges that the murders at the Superdome are suspicious.

West of the Rockies : Gary, another one. He wants to talk about hydrogen powered cars. Ian suggests he google something, which I missed. Gary is amazed by this hydrogen powered car.

Wildcard Lines : Danny. He has 2 points.

One, he alleges a "weather war" thanks to Bush's quote comparing the Hurricane to a weapon.

Two, he wants more Fr. Wingate ! He says Katrina may give his predictions weight. Somewhere, Aspie is flipping his 2nd wig.

Ian downplays the race card, getting all "We are the World" talking about the displaced folks coming to his town.

Russell calling from, I think, the Wildcard Line. Russell says we should be pointing the finger "right at the President". Ah, a Bush basher. It'll be interesting to see how Ian deals with this.

Ian corrects Russell, but Russell retorts. Ian says you can't totally blame Bush. He says start with the local and state politicos and then move up. He wants to blame everyone. Good for him.

Bobby is on the Wildcard Line : Bobby wants the Ohio scream. He calls it a werewolf and Ian corrects him. Ian says it disappeared. Ian claims people said it was an animal being tortured and someone being slapped. Huh ?

Albert is also on the Wildcard Line : He's playing music and no doubt stoned. He's from Austin. He's listening to Ian on the radio. Ian gently tells him to turn it off. Albert says that the evacuees are drug addicts. Ian cuts him off. Wow. Awesome stuff.

Christopher is on East of the Rockies : Christopher sounds mildly retarded. He wants to know about "La Yarona" or something. Mexican banshees. Yikes. Sounds scary. Christopher is telling us the story of these Mexican banshees. He says "gallivanting", which amuses me.

Ian wants the most recent sighting. Christopher cites some dude who comes to his "mother's bar". Ian wants more info. Names and phone numbers. What a creep.

Ian reiterates the unsubstantiated dog rescue deadline. He comes out hard against it. I agree.

On that note of agreement, we end this week's SNP. Good on ya, Ian.
