<p>Podcast Theme<br />
Fearless – The Bravery</p>
<p>Welcomes, weekend recap, birthday wishes and random insults.  The exciting stage choreography of ZZ Top.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.heritage.org/press/events/ev062409b.cfm">An invitation to a screening of the movie 33 Minutes at the Heritage Foundation hosted by Best Selling Author Brad Thor on Wednesday. </a></p>
<p>What’s happening in Iran, what does it mean and what should the President be doing or saying about it?  The tightrope the President is attempting to walk.  Is this the time to be cutting missile defense?</p>
<p>The President’s approval ratings are coming down to Earth, how long till the crash?</p>
<p>Bumper Music<br />
Bohemian Like You – Dandy Warhols</p>
<p>Obama Helmet ad<br />
Stop Me If You Think That You’ve Heard This One Before – The Smiths</p>
<p>Sleazealis ad<br />
Me So Horny – 2 Live Crew</p>
<p>Bumper Music<br />
Birthday – The Beatles</p>
<p>More thoughts on Obama’s popularity.  Damn the torpedoes, full-speed ahead on the domestic agenda regardless of ability to pay or cost.  Why doesn’t the President embrace “moderate” Democrats?  Isn’t he bi-partisan?  Paul Krugman on heath reform and his general worthlessness.  The truth about the uninsured in the US.  What are the liberals really trying to accomplish on health care “reform” and what it will mean to you.</p>
<p>Barbara “don’t call me ma’am” Boxer and the arrogance of elected office.</p>
<p>The President murders a fly and PETA reacts.  And NBC devotes most time than the fly was alive to talk about it.</p>
<p>News of the Weird, News of the World, News of…Whatever!</p>
<p>Clerk refuses to comply with robber, advises him to go get a weapon so he’ll be taken seriously. Does this make him an accomplice on any future armed robberies this guy pulls off?</p>
<p>Pot smoking mailman burns mail because he was too high to deliver it.</p>
<p>Man tries to pay municipal fine with counterfeit money.  Not the smartest move ever.</p>
<p>Man mugged for a baloney sandwich, police put value at 76 cents.</p>
<p>Drunk man points gun at kids, clucks like chicken because they came onto his property.</p>
<p>Man called 911 to complain that his drug dealer had ripped him off.  If you think that’s a good idea, you probably don’t need more drugs.</p>
<p>Drunk who made himself a motorized barstool and was arrested for DUI in hot water again over child support.  Not father of the year material.</p>
<p>Man dresses as his mother to collect $115,000 in benefits from New York.</p>
<p>Goodbyes</p>
<p>End Music<br />
A Day in the Life – The Beatles</p>

<p>Podcast theme<br />
Fearless – The Bravery</p>
<p>Intros, weekend recap, Congressional Baseball game Wednesday, the Stanley Cup Finals and bitterness.</p>
<p>Iran, the elections and the aftermath.  What is meant by “reformist” is Iran?  How the EU, et. al., have come out and condemned the crackdown in Iran on protesters much harder than the Obama Administration and why.</p>
<p>Cheney vs. Panetta on terrorism and readiness.</p>
<p>Bumper Music<br />
Bad Moon Rising – Creedence Clearwater Revival</p>
<p>“Shame on You” by Barack Obama ad<br />
1812 Overture – Tchaikovsky</p>
<p>Obama on Health Care PSA<br />
Touch Me I’m Sick – Mudhoney</p>
<p>Bumper Music<br />
Parents Just Don’t Understand<br />
DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince</p>
<p>A little discussion of rap music.</p>
<p>Dick Durban, the most appropriately first named US Senator, miraculously cashes out of the stock market before the crash after a private meeting with Treasury Secretary and Chairman of the FED.  You don’t have access to the same luck.  Media will ignore it because it’s not a Republican.</p>
<p>From Gitmo to paradise for three former detainees.</p>
<p>Gallup Poll says more people identify themselves as conservatives than liberals by a wide margin.  What does it mean, if anything?</p>
<p>News of the Weird, News of the World, News of…Whatever!</p>
<p>Teacher in London sues government because a tree branch fell on her head.  To sue God next for rain that ruined her leather jacket.</p>
<p>Woman in morgue not quite dead.  Not really the place where you’d want to wake up.</p>
<p>City dress code requires employees wear underwear.  What bureaucrat is going to monitor that policy?</p>
<p>Elementary school students in Brooklyn watch porno left in the DVD player at school.  Who uses elementary school A/V equipment to screen porn and then forgets it in there?</p>
<p>Infant barred from seeing The Reader, theater suggests Terminator: Salvation. Yes, that’s just what kids need – violence.</p>
<p>City in Georgia accidentally demolishes the wrong home, or at least they say it was an accident.</p>
<p>Baseball coach uses little leaguers to commit a burglary.</p>
<p>Goodbyes</p>
<p>End Music<br />

<p>President Obama’s message on health care<br />
Touch Me, I’m Sick – Mudhoney</p>
<p>Podcast Theme<br />
Fearless – The Bravery</p>
<p>Welcomes, hellos, intros, recap of First Friday last week with Ed Meese, plus the conveying of a complaint about not tipping and yelling at bartenders – a sure way to get spit in your drink.</p>
<p>A valuable lesson for those looking to fix their own electronic devices – open hand smacks work better than punches.</p>
<p>The President wants you to sacrifice…seemingly so he can live like a king.  Date night as President – a six figure affair.</p>
<p>Economic numbers vs. rhetoric.  Unemployment numbers and the media, nowhere near reality.   Where are the stories about the homeless and those one paycheck away from disaster we’re used to when a Republican is President?  The 600,000 “created or saved” jobs myth.  What happened to the 3-4 million jobs that $787 billion “stimulus” bill was supposed to create?  The $2 trillion deficit before health care.  Ford vs. GM – How can Ford compete with a company owned by the entity that makes the rules?  Obama is willing to keep his word to his wife about Broadway, but has pretty much exposed everything he said during the campaign as a lie.</p>
<p>Bumper Music<br />
Baby, You’re a Rich Man – The Beatles</p>
<p>I can’t believe it’s not socialism ad<br />
Cocaine Socialism – Pulp</p>
<p>Prozac Obama ad<br />
Perfect Drug – Nine Inch Nails</p>
<p>Bumper Music<br />
Bad Medicine – Bon Jovi</p>
<p>A little talk about Bon Jovi for no real reason.</p>
<p>The best Burger King EVER!!!  Signs put up my owner say “Global Warming is Baloney” and he, therefore, becomes our hero.  Global warming causes record cold and snow fall in June.  A little bit of information on what the actual scientific data says and how lazy the media is on the subject.  Aren’t we past the “point of no return” these enviro-Nazis set about cutting CO2?  If it’s too late, let’s party!</p>
<p>A discussion on the true number of uninsured in the country and how you’re being lied to about it by a lazy and complicit media.</p>
<p>News of the Weird, News of the World, News of…Whatever!</p>
<p>Ohio school invited to graduation tells students they must leave the state immediately after graduation.  If there’s one thing Ohio seemingly doesn’t need is educated people, and the unemployment numbers reflect the success of that program.</p>
<p>Colorado couple want to be able to garden in their front yard naked.  We they not in their 50s no one would complain.</p>
<p>Girl in England placed under curfew for 2 months, except on Saturdays because judge doesn’t want to ruin her summer.  That’s the kind of punishment we wish we’d gotten as kids.</p>
<p>Church to give away guns – will they then pass the ammunition?</p>
<p>Man sues mother because he cut his finger off in a saw when she tapped him on the shoulder, wins more than $100k.  Promptly cut out of the will.</p>
<p>Woman steals child’s ice cream money, turned in by husband.  No ambiguity when someone refers to the “better half” in that relationship.</p>
<p>High school student gives report on marijuana, then lights joint in class.  He promptly swallowed it, was shockingly suspended.</p>
<p>Man escapes from police pursuit on horse and buggy.  Why aren’t these horses on the racing circuit?</p>
<p>Goodbyes</p>
<p>End Music<br />
A Day in the Life – The Beatles</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Thanks to everyone who came out the this past week&#8217;s First Friday, and a special thanks to Mr. Meese for coming to hang out with us, sign autographs, answer questions and take pictures.  What an all-around nice guy.</p>
<p>Here is a sampling of the pictures from First Friday. You can see a larger version of each of these by clicking on them and can see all the pics from Friday by going to <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8369309@N04/" target="_blank">our Flickr page here.</a></p>
<p>Also, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2225910709" target="_blank">we do have a Facebook group </a>but there are only a few members because we don&#8217;t do much with it, frankly. But we do post some pictures from First Friday there a few days before we post all of them, and you can tag people, so there is a small benefit to joining. If you are so inclined you can join the group here. Considering some of the odd groups on Facebook people join, joining our group isn&#8217;t all that strange.</p>

<p>Podcast Theme<br />
Fearless &#8211; The Bravery</p>
<p>Welcome, intros and announcement that Ed Meese is the special guest this month at First Friday.</p>
<p>A plug for Pork Barrel BBQ since Heath owns the company and it’s damn tasty.  The interview that was and the technical difficulties that made it not with Mitt Romney.</p>
<p>Sonya Sotomeyer, Barack Obama, race and politics.  Biography as qualification – the difference between Sotomeyer and Clarence Thomas.  The Constitution was not written to give you rights, it was written to limit government – and that has seemingly been lost.   Judges making policy.  The crumbling of the Republicans in the face of a fight – why they lose.  Sotomeyer’s bigoted statement was written down in a speech, edited and delivered, not off the cuff.  Julianne Malveaux wish Clarence Thomas dead on TV and is still a pundit the liberal media goes to.  Remember that when Republicans are accused of all sorts of things.</p>
<p>Bumper music<br />
Creep – Radiohead</p>
<p>Obama debate ad<br />
Lovefool – The Cardigans</p>
<p>Democrat’s Accounting ad<br />
Money Back – Paul Westerberg</p>
<p>Bumper Music<br />
Love Will Tear Us Apart – Joy Division</p>
<p>A tangent on Garth Brooks and the best selling musicians of all time.</p>
<p>General Motors becomes Government Motors, will they produce the next Yugo? How can the President violate bankruptcy laws at will?  Will Ford  be able to compete with 2 government run auto companies?  Who really killed the auto industry?  Michael Moore has a plan for you – you don’t get to own a car and have to take trains, government run and controlled trains.  You will never see his fat ass in a small car or on a train, however.  Liberal hypocrisy over pretty much everything, do as I say, not as I do.</p>
<p>The let them eat cake class.  The Obama date night to NYC – how much did it cost taxpayers for the President to get lucky and keep a promise to his wife?  And why can’t he keep his campaign promises if he’s so willing to piss away our money on one to his wife?</p>
<p>News of the Weird, News of the World, News of…Whatever!</p>
<p>Colorado high school has to reprint diplomas because they misspelled the name of the town on it.  Public education at its best!</p>
<p>Hearst driver stops for beer on the way to deliver the body to the cemetery.  Depression can drive a person to drink, but a drunk driver should no drive a body to depressed people.</p>
<p>Man given lighter sentence after attacking his girlfriend with a knife because her dog bit his balls.  Too bad the dog didn’t bite them off.</p>
<p>Man in Egypt cuts off his own penis to protest his family’s refusal to allow him to marry someone from a lower class.  How does running away not occur to him?</p>
<p>Goodbyes.</p>
<p>End Music<br />
A Day in the Life – The Beatles</p>

<p>Podcast Theme<br />
Fearless &#8211; The Bravery</p>
<p>Intros, welcome, random insults and a recap of Heath’s Memorial Day BBQ.  Night at the Museum recap and mini-review.</p>
<p>Colin Powell and Rush Limbaugh, what constitutes a Republican?  How can a self-proclaimed Republican support Obama?  What exactly does Obama support that McCain didn’t that Powell disagrees with?  Shouldn’t Powell have an issue with defense cuts Obama wants to implement?  Why the media gives so much ink and air time to a Republican that criticizes Republicans and none to Democrats that criticize Democrats.  Bias anyone?</p>
<p>Speaker Pelosi in China.  She refuses to address her charge that the CIA lied to Congress.  Leon Panetta defends the CIA.  What the Dems are doing is impacting morale.  Other Speakers have resigned for much less, yet Pelosi stays and is defended by Democrats, which hurts the nation.  Pelosi ignores human rights abuses by China to focus on “climate change” to give the government more power.  A quick debunking of the global warming myth.  How Al Gore can save the planet – hold global warming protests since it always snows when he does.</p>
<p>Bumper music<br />
She’s so Cold – The Rolling Stones</p>
<p>The Barack Obama Gift Store<br />
Give it Away – Red Hot Chili Peppers</p>
<p>Liberals Gone Wild!<br />
Hot, Hot, Hot! – Buster Poindexter</p>
<p>Bumper music<br />
Revolution – The Beatles</p>
<p>It seems as though President Obama wants to be President of Domestic Policy, thinks he can Ari “hug it out” Gold foreign policy.  North Korea, Iran and nukes.  China and Japan, will Japan go nuclear?  The future of US-China relations.  Israel-Palestinian issue, does the administration care?</p>
<p>Obama admits the US is out of money, doesn’t seem to mind.  Will go forward on health care come Hell or high water.</p>
<p>News of the Weird, News of the World, News of…Whatever!</p>
<p>Man threatening to jump off bridge is pushed off it by a motorist sick of the traffic jam he was causing.  That’s one way to deal with it.</p>
<p>Prison in France to hold their own version of the Tour de France.  New meaning to saddle sores.</p>
<p>Man tries to hire hooker to take his 14 year old son’s virginity, gets arrested.  That’s bonding.</p>
<p>Fat prisoner sues country because they can’t dress him.  Just give him a tarp.</p>
<p>Pre-school teacher forces kids that soil themselves to marinate in their soiled clothes.  Kinda gross.</p>
<p>Fat hooker in Germany shakes her apartment building while doing her “business” so much so her neighbors want her evicted.  New meaning to “if the house is a-rockin’.”</p>
<p>Cemeteries are the new place to get married.  Since most marriages dies, seems appropriate.</p>
<p>Kid uses a snake as a jump rope.</p>
<p>Bowl of water starts fire.  Sky to fall next.</p>
<p>Michigan police shoot stuffed animal with a stun-gun while looking for a cougar.  The cat, not the older woman.</p>
<p>Goodbyes.</p>
<p>End music<br />
A Day in the Life – The Beatles</p>

<p>Podcast Theme<br />
Fearless &#8211; The Bravery</p>
<p>Welcomes, explanation of why there was no show last week, why we were soaking wet, the movie The Hand staring Michael Caine, softball, blame and random insults. Death and why it&#8217;s irritating. What comes next, wouldn&#8217;t you want to know?</p>
<p>The White House Correspondents Dinner, some dude wearing Guitar Hero boxers at a country concert, Wanda Sykes, Obama and what constituted funny. Meeting celebrities and introducing Kumar to Newt. The Air Force One photo. Where the buck never got.</p>
<p>Bumper Music<br />
Aeroplane Under the Sea &#8211; Neutral Milk Hotel</p>
<p>I Can&#8217;t Believe It&#8217;s Not Socialism ad<br />
Cocaine Socialism &#8211; Pulp</p>
<p>Obama Fragrance<br />
1812 Overture</p>
<p>Bumper Music<br />
Debaser &#8211; The Pixies</p>
<p>Nancy Pelosi &#8211; what she knew and when she knew it about so-called torture. She should be forced out of leadership if Democrats have any honor at all. They don&#8217;t, so she won&#8217;t. Pelosi is slightly less popular than Swine Flu right now. Volunteering for &#8220;torture&#8221; in DC. Why did Democrats introduce a bill to declare waterboarding torture if it&#8217;s obviously torture?</p>
<p>An inappropriate joke about Pelosi and Reid and the fake outrage over that compared to Wanda.</p>
<p>Obama&#8217;s $1.8 TRILLION deficit. It&#8217;s somehow Bush&#8217;s fault because nothing bad can be the fault of The One.</p>
<p>News of the Weird, News of the World, News of&#8230;Whatever!</p>
<p>Nursing home fines family because they didn&#8217;t give 30 days notice before their mother died.</p>
<p>Pilot suggests fire-proof bras for female crew.</p>
<p>A 12 year old files to run for President of Iran&#8230;and surprise, he hates Israel. Wants to buy Hawaii to ship the Jews to it.</p>
<p>College offers class in Craps. Just what college students need &#8211; another vice.</p>
<p>Guy gets 1197 piercings in one day, set record. Is also a moron.</p>
<p>Guy tries to get &#8220;street cred&#8221; by shooting clerk with a BB gun. Lamest gang ever!</p>
<p>Goodbyes</p>
<p>Exit Music<br />
A Day in the Life &#8211; The Beatles</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Thanks to everyone who came out last week for First Friday last week, the place was packed. Hope you had fun.</p>
<p>Here is a sampling of the pictures from First Friday. You can see a larger version of each of these by clicking on them and can see all the pics from Friday by going to <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8369309@N04/" target="_blank">our Flickr page here.</a></p>
<p>Also, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2225910709" target="_blank">we do have a Facebook group </a>but there are only a few members because we don&#8217;t do much with it, frankly. But we do post some pictures from First Friday there a few days before we post all of them, and you can tag people, so there is a small benefit to joining. If you are so inclined you can join the group here. Considering some of the odd groups on Facebook people join, joining our group isn&#8217;t all that strange.</p>

<p>DHS PSA on the problems with liberty<br />
Somebody&#8217;s Watching Me &#8211; Rockwell</p>
<p>Podcast Theme<br />
Fearless &#8211; The Bravery</p>
<p>Welcome, hellos and a recap of the weekend. Softball injuries and random insults. Sometimes co-host Brian Darling is now married and we congratulate him.</p>
<p>Jeneane Garafolo and Keith Uberdouche, er, Olbermann, accuse anyone who participated in the Tea Parties on tax day of being racist rednecks who suffer from brain imbalances. No riots or masks at the tea parties. No rent-a-goon mobs like those at leftie rallies. Obama&#8217;s puppeteer David Axelrod says tea parties are &#8220;unhealthy.&#8221; Protesting and &#8220;speaking truth to power&#8221; is only patriotic when it&#8217;s against Republicans. What liberals don&#8217;t understand about freedom loving individuals &#8211; they don&#8217;t want other people&#8217;s stuff, they just want to be left alone. Econ 101 &#8211; take more money from business, businesses can only either pass on increased costs to you or let people go. Garafolo, Ph.D., on her extensive research into hate and Olbermann, a worthless bag of human flesh, just grunts. The joyless Left. Tom Brokaw would be rolling over in his grave, were he in a grave. DHS Secretary says breaking immigration law isn&#8217;t exactly breaking the law.</p>
<p>Bumper Music<br />
I fought the Law &#8211; The Clash</p>
<p>Barack Obama Gift Store ad<br />
Give it Away &#8211; Red Hot Chili Peppers</p>
<p>Obama Fragrance ad<br />
1812 Overture</p>
<p>Bumper Music<br />
Running Down a Dream &#8211; Tom Petty</p>
<p>Obama&#8217;s new best friend Hugo Chavez. How the President could allow himself to be used as a tool like this. US attacked, Obama apologizes. Obama as the new Gorbachev, who presided over the fall of the USSR. Cutting $100 million from a $4 trillion budget &#8211; Obama is finally getting serious!</p>
<p>The two year anniversary of Harry Reid declaring the Iraq war lost. Douchebag!</p>
<p>News of the Weird, News of the World, News of&#8230;Whatever!</p>
<p>Lottery winner of Florida tried to open &#8220;Naked Dude Ranch,&#8221; but was unable to get lucky this time around.</p>
<p>Worthless government jobs in the UK&#8230;like Prime Minister, er, compost heap supervisor and breastfeeding coordinator.</p>
<p>Woman fined for loud sex, man walks around with a large ego.</p>
<p>Give the gift that keeps on taking &#8211; a Toilet to mark 25 years on the job. Must&#8217;ve been a crappy job.</p>
<p>Woman makes unsuccessful robber her sex slave for 2 days before turning him in. This is so weird that you&#8217;ll just have to listen for yourself.</p>
<p>Goodbyes</p>
<p>End Music<br />
A Day in the Life &#8211; The Beatles</p>

<p>No wonder Barney Frank wouldn&#8217;t answer the question that kid at Harvard asked him about what responsibility, if any, was his.  He kept referring to when he became Chairman and forgot about when he was Ranking Member and blocked anything from getting done.</p>
<p><span style="text-align:center; display: block;"><a href="http://firstfriday.wordpress.com/2009/04/20/because-its-worth-revisiting-the-mortgage-crisis-timeline/"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/0pk--Ox49L0/2.jpg" alt="" /></a></span></p>
<p>What you should have done all along is NOT be a corrupt douchebag, Congressman Frank.  But that&#8217;s too much to ask for from you, especially when you&#8217;re raking in money from them.</p>
<p>It does seem odd that liberals, who love regulating damn near everything, somehow thought there were enough regulations on Fannie and Freddie.  There&#8217;s a connection &#8211; those industries that pay, get to play. Those that don&#8217;t, get regulated.  We&#8217;re still waiting for the Special Comment from the &#8220;special&#8221; Keith Uberdouche on this issue.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Former comedian Janeane Garofalo and former sports comedienne Keith Uberdouche, er, Olbermann, had a conversation last week that exposed the world to the fact that not only are they raging hypocrites, but they&#8217;ve clearly suffered closed head injuries in the past few years.  Well, now we have a window of time.  Seems they forgot all about the older conversation in this exchange, so that would put the accident (which we assume both are) sometime between then and now. </p>

<p>Podcast Theme<br />
Fearless &#8211; The Bravery</p>
<p>Hellos, Easter recap, random insults, etc.</p>
<p>Sometimes co-host Brian Darling gets married, we make fun of him and wish him well. Pirates, pirates and more pirates.  Our take on the Somali Pirate drama, including our connection to Captain Phillips.  The Daily Kos calls Captain Phillips reckless, says he should have given up the whole ship, not a hero.  Seems being held at constant gun point is cool with the Left, so we&#8217;ve found a replacement for waterboarding.</p>
<p>Bumper Music<br />
Danger Zone &#8211; Kenny Loggins</p>
<p>The Barack Obama Gift Store ad<br />
Give it Away &#8211; Red Hot Chili Peppers</p>
<p>Live Like a Democrat Tax Accountants ad<br />
Money &#8211; Pink Floyd</p>
<p>Bumper Music<br />
It&#8217;s not Unusual &#8211; Tom Jones</p>
<p>Loving Fidel Castro &#8211; Congressional Black Caucus meets with murderous dictator and then praises him.  It&#8217;s not unusual.  Obama to loosen Cuba restrictions on travel, not so terrible.</p>
<p>Harry Reid sucks, and we say so quickly.</p>
<p>News of the Weird, News of the World, News of&#8230;Whatever!</p>
<p>Nevada stands up against prostitution tax!  They clearly don&#8217;t want to pay it.</p>
<p>Man in Russia kills 2 because they gave his wife lice.  Paperboy better stay off the lawn!</p>
<p>Mother convicted of stalking her own son, called 49 times a day.  Family reunion cancelled.</p>
<p>Congo to make politicians pay their taxes.  Are they going to become Obama Cabinet officials?</p>
<p>Woman gets in 3 car accidents in an hour, including driving into a house.  The house ran out in front of her.</p>
<p>Alleged suicide victim found 29 years later, after he tied himself to the top of a tree, then shot himself.  Where was Phil Spector?</p>
<p>The Obamas get their dog.  What the hell is a Portuguese Water Dog? Does Kennedy like them because they swim out of cars when he drives into the water?</p>
<p>Polish politician angry that the zoo has a &#8220;gay&#8221; elephant.  Gay bashing knows no species!</p>
<p>Man divorces wife via text message.  Did he bother to spell out the words?</p>
<p>Polish man faces 10 years in jail for stealing toilet paper.  Really crappy.</p>
<p>Woman calls 911 because her shrimp fried rice didn&#8217;t have enough shrimp in it.  She loves her sea cockroaches!</p>
<p>Goodbyes</p>
<p>Exit Music<br />
A Day in the Life &#8211; The Beatles</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Kudos to Camille Paglia, the often right and always entertaining professor with we regularly disagree but never find disagreeable, for having the courage to call American liberals out for <a href="http://www.salon.com/opinion/paglia/2009/04/08/bow/index1.html" target="_blank">what they really are</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>Yes, something very ugly has surfaced in contemporary American liberalism, as evidenced by the irrational and sometimes infantile abuse directed toward anyone who strays from a strict party line. Liberalism, like second-wave feminism, seems to have become a new religion for those who profess contempt for religion. It has been reduced to an elitist set of rhetorical formulas, which posit the working class as passive, mindless victims in desperate need of salvation by the state. Individual rights and free expression, which used to be liberal values, are being gradually subsumed to worship of government power.</p></blockquote>
<p>We know and have known many people like this, with whom a rational conversation is impossible, people who run out of things to say once they&#8217;ve used up all the &#8220;facts&#8221; they read in the latest issue of <em>The Nation, Mother Jones </em>or <em>Newsweek</em>.  The inability of these people to thing beyond what they&#8217;re fed, to extrapolate beyond talking points they&#8217;re read or to have a coversation that doesn&#8217;t end in anger and name-calling on their part is why we don&#8217;t miss the ones we knew and won&#8217;t the ones we know, should it come to that.  Paglia, on the other hand, is welcome to join us for a beer any time.</p>

Fearless &#8211; The Bravery</p>
<p>Welcomes, recap of First Friday, summary of Derek&#8217;s trip to San Diego.</p>
<p>The huge partisan divide in America over President Obama. Obama&#8217;s two day delay on AIG yet Bush caught hell for waiting 7 minutes on 9/11. Obama apologizes for everything in Europe. Does France really deserve an apology? Is this the speech a President should give? Michael Moore loves the move to fire GM&#8217;s CEO, so everyone should be weary. The union vote vs. union money in politics. Obama refuses repayment of TARP funds to maintain control over some banks. The government controlling the economy by controlling the money flow.</p>

You Never Give Me Your Money &#8211; The Beatles</p>
<p>Prozac Obama ad<br />
Perfect Drug &#8211; Nine Inch Nails</p>
<p>Barack Obama School of Leadership ad<br />

Cannonball &#8211; The Breeders</p>
<p>North Korea tests a missile, the administration doesn&#8217;t do much about it. This is what passes for leadership. The &#8220;tie&#8221; in the NY-20 special election. What does it mean, if anything, about Obama&#8217;s popularity?  NY Governor Patterson is so unpopular that the NY Dem party tells him he can forget about running unless he gets more popular soon.</p>
<p>News of the Weird, News of the World, News of&#8230;Whatever!</p>
<p>Police in Detroit break up giant pillow fight. There is nothing else happening in Detroit for the police to deal with, crime is history.</p>
<p>Man gets DUI for driving custom made barstool home and crashing in front of his house. How lazy do you can to be?</p>
<p>Man attempts to rob a store twice in one night. How drunk do you have to be to forget you&#8217;d already robbed a store that day?</p>
<p>Grandma drives 103 MPH to show her grandson what not to do. Next week she&#8217;s going to teach him not to shoot people&#8230;</p>

<p>Feeling sad about the economy?  Worried about your financial situation?  Forget the fact that people have been through much worse, even this country has been through much worse (we survived the Depression and Jimmy Carter&#8217;s Presidency), Barack Obama is going to save you.  Or at least offer pseudo-help.</p>
<p>The White House has come out with warning signs for depression over the economy, <a href="http://www.samhsa.gov/economy/" target="_blank">they can be found here</a>.</p>
<p>Oddly enough, there is nothing on the site for people who are depressed that the President is ruining the country, making a natural correction of the economy much, much worse, spending the country into insurmountable debt, attempting to ruin health care, nationalizing industry and banks, all the while laughing and and having Wednesday night parties to maintain a sense of &#8220;normalcy.&#8221;  (What normal person has mid-week set for party time every week?)</p>
<p>Maybe the President will assign everyone their own personal Reggie Love, the guy that dials Obama Blackberry, because you can&#8217;t take a second to dial your phone or supply your own snacks when you&#8217;re THE ONE!</p>
<p>This is real.  You can <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/mar/29/obama-london-visit-uk-g20" target="_blank">read the whole story here</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>At the same time, Obama will be constantly minded by his personal aide Reggie Love, who dials his BlackBerry, fetches his jacket and tie and supplies him with snacks.</p></blockquote>
<p>Bet none of those greedy, evil CEOs on Wall Street had a dude to &#8220;fetch&#8221; their jackets.</p>

Fearless &#8211; The Bravery</p>
<p>Welcome, blowing up Heath&#8217;s eardrums, reminder that this Friday is First Friday.  Recap of the weekend, which involves mechanical bull riding (for reasons unknown) and random insults.</p>
<p>Government Motors, the firing of the GM CEO Wagoner on orders of the President.  What this means and why it&#8217;s worrisome. What would a government warrantee look like? Replacing one failed leader with another.  Will the government step in and honor other failed company&#8217;s warrantees?</p>
<p>Obama&#8217;s entourage and Reggie Love &#8211; the President&#8217;s phone dialer and tie fetcher.  How many people does it take to attend a G20 summit?  Turns out the answer is 500.</p>
<p>Bumper music<br />
Beat on the Brat &#8211; The Ramones</p>
<p>Hope Energy Drink ad<br />
I&#8217;ll Buy &#8211; The Replacements</p>
<p>Liberals Gone Wild ad<br />
Hot, Hot, Hot &#8211; Buster Poindexter</p>
<p>Bumper Music<br />
Vertigo &#8211; U2</p>
<p>The NY-20 race, does it mean anything?  Will we learn anything from the results?  Probably not.</p>
<p>Joe Biden&#8217;s attractive 27 year old daughter gets treated with kid gloves while Republican&#8217;s kids get treated like adults.  Media bias anyone?  Or just some Biden booger sugar?</p>
<p>TV pitch-man Vince smacks around a hooker.  Billy Mays he is not.</p>
<p>News of the Weird, News of the World, News of&#8230;Whatever!</p>
<p>Get married and buried in the same place, at the same time.  Wedding chapel/crematorium.</p>
<p>Moron in Michigan gets his finger stuck in SUV gas tank for 4 hours. Or at least he &#8220;said&#8221; it was his finger&#8230;</p>
<p>Idiot tries to rob a cop at a convention for narcotics officers.  It didn&#8217;t work out really well for him, if you can believe that.</p>
<p>Naked man tries to buy beer, gets arrested.  Only speculation at this point as to where he kept his wallet.</p>
<p>Dead child&#8217;s parents get letter of complaint from school about truancy.  Really needs no comment.</p>
<p>Goodbyes, etc.</p>
<p>Exit music<br />
A Day in the Life &#8211; The Beatles</p>

<blockquote><p>Depressed? Well, it&#8217;s a sign of the grim times for our planet when pre-schoolers are worrying about something as basic as water, a commodity which my generation never even thought about at his age.</p></blockquote>
