Mikey Snot Is Great
On Vacation in Little Egypt

November 15, 2007 - Buzz Fugazi

I'm hanging with Paul Matalonis at the Legal Assistance Foundation in Carbondale, IL. I worked for Paul in 1988 as a volunteer legal assistant. Back then, in Murphysboro, IL, Land of Lincoln Legal Aid had 4 attorneys for 13 counties, so Paul recruited me because I could read, write, and had a pulse ("on most days," Paul adds). Paul also conned me into starting the BASEMENT newspaper and volunteering for Jesse Jackson, which aside from getting me disowned by my grandfather for a couple of years, gave me my first experience in my future profession as an organizer. Despite all that work I did for no pay, I still think Paul is a great guy and I'd like you to get to know him better.
