Charles
D. Samuelson is a modern-day...something. He’s been down, but
he’s never been out. A college drop out, Charles learned to
write the old-fashioned way, through experience. He is a regular
contributor from the road and makes frequent appearances on the broadcasts.
Charles
offered his services to Radio Free Babylon™ after hearing about us
through “intergalactic transmissions.”
“I
swear, man. I was asleep in this nasty molded trailer down in Florida
and I heard a voice in the middle of the night say “Radio Free Babylon™.” So I jumped out of bed, or whatever that nasty mattress
was, and looked you guys up.”
When
he isn’t writing and living the vagabond life, Charles volunteers
his time doing what he calls “Guerilla Landscaping.”
“I
find out who the old people are, the sick people, the single moms
and all, you can spot ‘em ‘cause their lawns look like
crap, and I do an early morning strike, usually pre-dawn, in and
out. They don’t know what hit ‘em. They got ‘scaped
by Charlie D is what happened. And it was free for ‘em, too.
Makes me feel good, ya know?”
Charles
checks his email from the public library of whatever town he happens
to be dragging his new landscaping truck through.

Maria
Espinoza has traveled the heart of this country on numerous fact
finding and reporting missions. On one such sojourn, she got really
lost and wound up in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, where she was held
captive for an hour by a marauding band of northern cowboys, who
delighted in making her speak in her native Spanish.
“It
was humiliating and embarrassing,” says Maria, “Then
they insisted on making me go to Taco Bell with them, where they
challenged me to try the Fire Sauce. They were amazed that I could
eat it and not sweat. That sauce is poorly named. I know many Caucasians
who can handle it. I believe it was out of respect for my ability
to ingest the dreaded Fire Sauce that they set me free.”
That
experience led Maria to research and write the column that appears here at
Radio Free Babylon™. She promises that she no longer harbors any prejudices
against our northern neighbors.
Maria
lives in None Of Your Business, Massachusetts, with her husband,
three children, and her two gatos, or cats.

Juan
is the producer/writer/creator of the reality-based TV show, Lifestyles
of the Antarcticans, which was turned down by many broadcasting
companies along with his pilot for Cuban Idol. When we heard
he was in need of a job, we offered him a hand and hope to help him
develop his groundbreaking television programs.

spends a good deal of time at Starbucks® when
he isn't up late at night watching
infomercials.

When

reviews for our website, Jaquie Kensinger is a freelance nuclear
physicist. Her hobbies include cooking, reading, bike-riding, and "watching
really bad movies on Cinemax on rainy days."

Bill
joined RFB after many years as a hated and failed officer in the
British Navy and unsuccessful early governor of Australia. He spends
his time traveling in
his motorhome across his adopted homeland, the US. He sends his reports, "When
I bloody-well feel like it, mate."

Pavlov
"Pav" to his friends, and "Chek" to
the guys at the convenience
store, Pavlov Chekov enjoys his new car,
though he's finding it has become a rolling garbage barge.
"Really,
it is getting gross. I thought I would appreciate a car when I got
it, but I guess that's just it. I don't love my car. I never will.
It gets me someplace. That's all. It can be like a pig sty. That
is fine. It is only a car."
Pavlov
is currently living in Central Florida, trying to get a walk-on spot "either
with the Bucs, or with NASA. I
was All-Moscow Senior League tight end and I also flew in the Soviet
Space Program. But Russian football is not catching on, and neither
is the space program over there. So, you know, maybe the years are
behind me and I won't get to do those things. No big deal. I like
this writing stuff, too."

Sam
Guzzetta continues to chase Catholic profiles and other tales of
organized faith. On a recent assignment, he managed to get a part
time deal with the Swiss Guards of Vatican City.
We
haven't heard from Sam since his last report on Bavarian
Gandalf Karl Pruter of the World's Smallest Cathedral in the
Missouri Ozarks, but we trust his latest gig in the Pope's house
is pretty plush.
Diega

Diega
A
huge hit in her own country, Diega brought to Radio Free Babylon™
years of foregn policy and conflict resolution credentials. She thinks
the French deserve as much
a break as any nation and hates to see any of them squabbling.
"I
am one for appealing to the calmer side of things," says Diega, "To the
quieter ways. My dear Jebediah, God rest his soul, had nothing to
do with the first big war. He was a brave man, a patriotic man, but
our people are conscientious objectors. We get called 'traitors'
by the rednecks of course, but isn't that what we teach our kids?
Don't hit? Of course when Hitler started up his crap, Jebediah and
I both said there's a time for fighting. Some fighting is necessary.
By then Jeb was too old for soldiering and helped with the scrap
metal drive here on the homefront."
Her
experience in foreign relations includes
one of her sons married a girl from an Eastern Europaean nation and
she always shops for bread from that Italian guy. She has many years
of successful conflict resolution behind her, including authoring
the now-famous Treaty of The Two Families who Shared a Pasture near
the South River.
