Episode 215: Dirty Jobs

Well, we didn't let a little ditch distract us from catching up and recording this week's podcast! We followed the same articles - to a degree - and had a fun time for a Monday night recording. With the primary in Ken's home state tomorrow, we spent some time on that subject and talked about how dirty a job politics really is.

Episode 201: What Next Big Thing?

 So much of the news this week has been focused on either the protests against banks (and capitalism by extension) and the actions that Iran tried to do.  In this episode we worked to talk about those other stories that didn't make the top headlines or all the news feeds.

Sovereignty Day in Iraq

Jan 1, 2009 is now officially called "Sovereignty Day" in Iraq. Why? Well, while most of the US was sleeping off their New Year's hangover, the Green Zone in Baghdad was officially put under Iraqi control. I'm not sure how many others recognize the significance of that event but it has been hailed by Iraqi leaders as a huge step in new government's control.

Click here to download this week's show! Thank you to all that listen!

Oh, and for those who want text versions of the items quoted from Obama's speech: Here are the quotes that I agreed with:

"... go through the federal budget line by line, eliminating programs that no longer work and making the ones we do need work better and cost less, because we cannot meet 21st-century challenges with a 20th-century bureaucracy."

---

"Yes, we must provide more ladders to success for young men who fall into lives of crime and despair. But we must also admit that programs alone can't replace parents, that government can't turn off the television and make a child do her homework, that fathers must take more responsibility to provide love and guidance to their children."

And the ones that I took special issue with:

"We are the party of Roosevelt. We are the party of Kennedy. So don't tell me that Democrats won't defend this country. Don't tell me that Democrats won't keep us safe."

---

"[We are more compassionate than a government] that sits on its hands while a major American city drowns before our eyes."

---

"If you don't have a record to run on, then you paint your opponent as someone people should run from."
