The Nookular Option: February 22, 2007

Today’s show is a blast. Don and Chris are in rare form, and the humor gets a bit (MORE than a bit) juvenile at times. First, President Bush appoints another industry crony to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. You’ll enjoy meeting “Bessie Asbestos�, spokesperson for asbestos. Next, a deadly asteroid might hit Earth in 30 years or so. Scotland and NASA snap into action, and Don serenades Chris with the love theme from “Armageddon�. Then, more fun with Glenn Beck. This time Mr. Beck has unkind comments for Katrina survivors, and Don and Chris respond with some unkind comments of their own. In the next segment, habeus schmabeus!! That’s right, say goodbye to a 900-year old cornerstone of free societies. Then, we ought to do something about these deficits, right? So why not deep cuts to medical care for veterans? That’s the Bush administration’s plan. Next, more brilliance from right-wing commentators. Did you know that schoolteachers are worse than al-Qaeda, and the theory of evolution is a 2000-year old Jewish conspiracy? You bet. Also, President Bush has plans for Osama bin Laden, and they’re a bit…crude. And possibly gay. But who are we to criticize? All this and much more…enjoy!!!
