Pick A Winner (recap)

Heard on this week's show:

• You Can't Fly if You're Too High - The Re Birth Brass Band
• How Sweet to be an idiot - Neil Innes
• For All We Know - Cal Tjader & Stan Getz
  
• War Pigs - Cake with (Steven Drozd)

What the Huckabee - This actually came from the standard warning in front of DVDs about Parental Discretion being advised. The Huckabee thing was just a way to tie that into something that fit the rest of the show

Reductionist Reminders - I have the misfortune of being something of a liberal and so I read the Huffington Post 99% of which is now a reductionist flame war. You are either a bigot or a chauvanist unless you're a republican. I just wanted to take that a little further.

MegaChurch and Casino - For the life of me, I don't remember why I wrote this.

Gambling - This still boggles my mind and is a true story.

Win a Soldier - Every time I listen to some World War Two era radio show, there are always drives to support the war effort. People had to ration meat, sugar and gasoline. They collected cans, rubber and oil. They bought war bonds. The whole nation seemingly went from being fairly isolationist to 100% committed to defeating Tojo and Hitler overnight. I can't help think that if the Bush administration had asked us to sacrifice for the war in Iraq, we would've actually banded together more in support of it as a shared cause.

I do apologize how the last couple Sunday shows have been a little light on content. I've got a lot going on right now and my old routines got all monkeyed with to hell, which is interrupting the creative flow to some degree. Sorry.
