For much of the '90s, Stew helmed the amazing LA band The Negro Problem, which played Long Beach and OC clubs with fondly-remembered frequency. (Right now, I'm remembering the NP gig I caught one night at the Lava Lounge at Java Lanes Bowling Alley, but then I remember

Yoo is currently a visiting professor at Chapman Law, and during his time working with the Bush administration as legal council he authored the infamous "Torture Memos" defending water-boarding and other "enhanced interrogation techinques." This one could get heated, folks!
