One last reminder:
> The worlds only known singing C.I.A. agent
> Are you still gloomy from the election? We have just the thing - a
little pointed political humor to make you smile again.
> Join us for an evening of folk and comedy to benefit WHYS Radio.
Walter Craft will open the show with song and stories, then George Shrub
will shatter your preconceived notion of CIA agents > -> musically.
Finally Dave Lippman (Shrubs alter-ego) will close the show and send you
home with a semi-permanent grin.

> Last weekend Dave Lippman Played before 16,000 people at the Fort
Benning, GA demonstration against the School of the Americas. Dec 2-5 he
is touring Northern Wisconsin, before heading off to California.
> Satirical songster Dave Lippman takes to the road in his second
millennium of musical satire, with the world's only known singing CIA
agent, George Shrub, in hot pursuit. Current victims of his parody and
thrust include the faith-based missile shields, Global Warnings,
Sweatshops, the Information Towaway Lane, Sport Futility Vehicles, and
of course, Wal-Mart. Get ready for high-end pop rewrites and some very
wise cracks.
> Lippman's songs, released on numerous albums over the last 20 years,
bear such bucolic and transcendent titles as "I Hate Walmart" "The
Stocks They Are Exchangin'," "The Twelve Days of Bushmas," and "Battle
Him in Public." His most recent CD, "I Hate Wal-Mart," released in 1998,
receives airplay on anticommercial radio throughout the country
