Episode 194: Claims and Ammunition, Part 2

Normally we don't repeat titles, but for this episode we are going to be continuing on the conversation from last week. We talked mostly about GOP candidates last time, now it's time to look at what's being said on the left.

Here are the articles for this episode:

• Squirrel Blamed for Flag Thefts From Ohio Memorial
• List: Web older than college freshmen
• DOJ Raids Gibson Guitars over Alleged Environmental Infractions, but Mum’s Still the Word on ‘Fast and Furious’
• Hope and Change: AFL-CIO's Trumka Plans to Distance Labor From Democrats
• Suit seeks to protect licenses for illegal immigrants in N.M.
• Obama Ag Secretary Vilsack: Food Stamps Are A "Stimulus"
• Latinos To Obama: Change On Immigration Or Else
• Economic Storm Continues: Bernanke Says ‘Recovery Even Weaker Than We Had Thought’

Here's what didn't make the cut:

• King: Congress Hearings Must Embarrass White House on Immigration Amnesty
• Obama’s Job-Killing NLRB Strikes Again! ALL* Employers Must Post Union Notices
• Arlington's nighttime patrol
• Arizona sues federal government over voter rights law
• Perry Threatens To Cut Into Romney's Base
• Qaddafi's Crush? Condoleezza Rice
• Post-9/11, NYPD targets ethnic communities, partners with CIA
• NYPD Intelligence Unit Seen Pushing Rights Limits
• ‘War on Terror’ president re-tells the 9/11 story as he lived it
• Gallup: Rick Perry Opens 12-Point Lead Over Mitt Romney
• Russia Green Lights $65 Billion Siberia-Alaska Rail and Tunnel to Bridge the Bering Strait!

Episode 193: Claims and Ammunition

There were some technical issues with this episode that delayed it from being released. Regular listeners will notice a difference in the audio quality, turns out my system decided not to use the fancy mixer and reverted to the internal microphone on my laptop for the show. I've corrected that for next week!

Some times in battle, the best move is to wait for the opponent to either implode or for their members to turn on them when the game changes pace. Then again, sometimes you have to take a serious look at your own side. Tonight we talk about the ammo being provided by politicians from both sides, and the insanity or opportunity it represents.

This episode, like many others, didn't make it through all of the articles for the evening. There were some particularly good points raised, and Bachmann's "$2 Gas" coupled with comments I heard on Bob Brinker's Money Talk about an economist suggesting that an executive order forcing all new federal fleet vehicles to run on natural gas would have just about that impact made for some interesting conversation.

Episode 191: Shocking Comments

In the wake of the signing of the debt deal, a lot of interesting comments have been made by members of both parties.  Tonight we're going to continue our conversation on the concepts of tone and words used and the impact they have on our nation.

What a fun show we had tonight!  Ken made it in for the introduction before his vacation schedule pulled him off the call, but we were joined by two of our regular listeners, TriSec - a "Boston Liberal" (his words, not mine) and Shoramin.  What followed was a fun discussion that included some serious conversation about what is going on in Washington.

Episode 190: Unity, Convictions and Consequences

This weekend's episode was tough to put together. There is so much going on and, as you see below, there's a lot of different news going on. In this episode, we look at the sub-currents around the Debt Ceiling news and the overriding themes that seem to be playing out.  It also took some editing and was delayed in being released.  Our apologies for that.


However, we do sincerely thank all of you that support us each week by participating in our live recording session!  As you hear every week, there is always something that the audience adds to the show.  If you haven't had a chance to join in, try to make it on Sunday nights at 8:30pm Eastern.
