DESCRIPTION:Local author Terry Bisson chats via skype with Paul Krassner who sometimes 
 gets touted as a forerunner to comics like Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, 
 who blend fact and fiction into combustible political cocktails. Krassner 
 helped launch The Realist in 1958 when Krassner was a MAD magazine 
 contributor living in the East Village. \n\nThe Realist ‘s motto – 
 “irreverence is our only sacred cow” — seemed to extend to 
 Krassner’s gigs as a standup comic and as a co-founder of the Yippies, 
 who ran a 45-pound pig named Pegasus for President in 1968. After it ceased 
 publication in 2001, Krassner — who by then had long since relocated to 
 California — remained a prolific writer, garnering awards that included a 
 2004 Upton Sinclair Award For Freedom of Expression from the ACLU. \n\nIn 
 his latest book, a slender 112-page paperback collection of articles titled 
 Patty Hearst and the Twinkie Murders: A Tale of Two Trials, 82-year-old 
 Krassner takes the stance of a serious personal journalist for outlets like 
 the Berkeley Barb, The Nation and Playboy.\n
