Articles for Episode 276: Less than Ideal

Back to our regular format, we've got some interesting articles to discuss and some other ideas as well. Sometimes the most sage wisdom comes from the least expected source.

Episode 130: Of Cabbages and Kings

On this Memorial day weekend, we can't help but feel like we're living in the odd world of the Looking Glass! In New York we've had the new Knave of Hearts anointed, in Louisiana Obama and his entourage seem to have recreated the Walrus and the Carpenter and Congress has decided to shuffle in a new suit into the military's deck of cards while the Anglican Archbishop chastised the Episcopal church for ordaining an openly gay bishop. Along with those topics we had a remedial lesson on Memorial Day versus Veteran's day and talked breifly about the Korean situation.

Episode 129: To mince or not to mince, that is the question.

Over the past week there have been a slew of news items with examples of people mincing or not mincing words. We've got orgies, bishops, politicians, judges and partiers.

This was my first night to run the show without being in SecondLife at all in a long time! As I mentioned last week, my computer is in the process of being repaired so things like live audio and snippets will have to wait for a while. All of the audio is post-recording which is adding to the release time for the show.

Episode 82: What were we saying about foreign policy?

In this episode of the podcast, Ken and I reflect on the warnings given to the Obama administration and show examples of how their refusal to at least acknowledge those warnings is now coming back to bite them in the rear end! When it comes to foreign policy, the liberal concept that "everyone will love us if we don't flex our muscles" has resulted in creating more harm than good for the US abroad. Last weekend I talked about the community at RepublicanOperative.com! This morning I got word that a message area specific to our podcast has been created! You can access it by going to http://www.republicanoperative.com/forums/ecc-podcast-episodes/. Also, our facebook page is up and running and of course we have our store at Printfection.com/eccstuff. Articles discussed during the show:

• Fla. City Council Votes: Underwear Required
• Wiley Pavilion will get $2 million modernization
• Judge Allows Republicans To Control New York Senate
• Governor declares emergency session for NY Senate

Episode 79: A Dog's Tale of Foreign and Domestic Policies

We had a lot to discuss on tonight's show - from the heroic deeds of a little dog to the misguided actions of the party that doesn't want to offend any one.

Episode 47: Sudan Investigates Bradley's Episcopal Rainbow Cub Comments

Tonight was another case where we had a lot of news to cover and not enough time to cover it! Some of that might have to do with the fact that we took the time to discuss the issues to a greater extent than usual - but that's a good thing in this case, as it appears that the Mainstream Media doesn't have the time in the 24 hour news cycle to discuss anything other than campaign styles and the financial crisis! Thankfully there were quite a few folks in the SecondLife chat room that helped Ken and I discuss things that I haven't heard about elsewhere. Tonight we introduce our first sponsor! Blockbuster's Total Access package give you access to over 85,000 titles that can arrive in your mailbox in as little as a day! You can even exchange movies in any Blockbuster store... all this for $19.99 a month! East Coast Conservative listeners can save $10 off their first month's payment by clicking on the green "Sign Up Now" button on the right-hand side of this page. Articles discussed in tonight's show:

• Crackdown on tight trousers canceled
• Palin: Probe Cleared Me Of Any Wrongdoing
• Russia's Putin gets tiger cub for his birthday
• Gay Marriage Is Ruled Legal in Connecticut
• THE RACE TO THE WHITE HOUSE: The Bradley effect
• Rep. Lewis clarifies controversial remarks about McCain, Palin
• St. Bartholomew's pulls away from Episcopal Church

There were some articles that were slated for discussion that we had to cut.

• Economy, Television and the American Family
• North Korea Is Off Terror List After Deal With U.S.
• Congress Plans Second Stimulus Debate
• All That Money You Lost - Where Did It Go?
