Guerrilla satirist and legendary YIPPIE! co-founder Paul Krassner joins the GREEN POWER & WELLNESS SHOW today from sunny California.  Paul brings his perfectly unique perspectives on the life and great times of a life-long activist/humorist.  Paul is the illegitimate father of THE REALIST, a generation's first truly underground attack on the constipated culture of the Eisenhower 1950s.  Later he named the Youth International Party that would rock the 1968 Chicago Democratic Convention.  Now in sunny California, Paul brings with him a half-century of great stories and Earth-changing history, including the wit and wisdom of Mitt Romney (a VERY brief segment of the show).
