Episode 213: Heating Up in the Winter

This episode gave us a good chance to step back and take a look at what campaigns are doing on both sides of the aisle. We talked about Obama's moves that, from our lens look like pure political steps as well as some of the things being said or done by GOP candidates. The only one we didn't have a story for was Mitt, who didn't really make any headlines this week.

Episode 206: So Many Bad Ideas, So Little Time

Well folks, this time the show definitely did not go where it was originally planned!  Oh sure, we got through the opening article with all of its puns and groans, but after that, a completely different topic took center stage.  Luckily, it still falls in line with the "Bad idea" theme of the episode so the title didn't change.  Most everything else did.

We talked about Internet Censorship, specifically, HR 3261, otherwise known as the "Stop Online Piracy Act" which is currently before the House Judiciary Committee and is expected to pass Congress as written.

Episode 181: New Tone My Toe

I'm really tired of hearing about the so-called "new tone" that is constantly promised by candidates during the campaign season.  In this episode we're going to talk about the lack of any change in tone in politics, regardless of who promised it.

Episode 171: Paying Attention to the Edges

It’s time again for us to look at the news stories that are being overshadowed by Japan, Lybia and the associated fallout.

Tonight was a fun show and an example of how Ken and I don’t always agree. We had fun talking about a number of different issues, pontificating the concepts of 2012 and got stuck on the concept of what to do about the Somali pirates.

Episode 125: Preferential Treatment

Some folks get it, some don't. This week's show features a series of articles showing examples of both. We've got firing squads, pirates, bankers and politicians all in on the act so you know it's going to be a fun time!

The show started a bit late but also ran a couple of minutes long - as anyone that has listened to the show for a while knows can happen any given Sunday!
