Episode 60: George Bush spying on us all

listen here

I'm sure the NSA has a secret dossier all about Radio W.C. And, if you don't care about government spying on us-perhaps you would feel at home in a dictatorship.

As far as this topic goes...all I have to say is, now more than ever: BUSH NEEDS TO BE IMPEACHED...AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

Also, 24, a series on the Fox network-is showing us that there are times that electricution with a household lamp can be constitutional if it's being done by Keifer Sutherland.

Plus...we need more than two political parties, but the two parties in power will never let it happen!

Episode 59: Santa Claus must go!

listen here

Uncle Dan officially starts his campaign to stamp out Santa Claus! That topic goes back and forth into religion and various other topics. Also, we relate a discussion we had with a drunken W.C. resident trying to convert us to Jesus.

Congratulations to our old buddy Jeff who found, and is obsessed with Pandora.com.

Also, there was a mosque bombing down in Cincinnati last week, and we discuss that-and how the religious community came together.

Plus-more talk about Bin Laden...like he needs any more publicity.

A Very W.C. Christmas

Well...time has gotten the better of us again, as it has been a week or so since our last podcast. Scheduling conflicts among other stuff manage to get in the way. But, the annual Christmas celebration has come and gone and I figured I'd share an observation or two...

My first observation is simple: CHRISTMAS IS INEVITABLE-nothing can be done to stop it.

Not a single member of the family goes to a Christian church, and the most religious members are Muslims-nonetheless, the small tree was up, and gifts were exchanged. Yes, even Abu Snookums did a bit of Christmas shopping. Plus, Baby Snooks enjoyment of his See-n-Say and his oversized lego-type blocks made the 45 minute wait in like at Toys-r-us worth every agonizing minute with sore feet!

Whether you are a Muslim, Jew, Buddhist, Taoist, Shaman, Zoroastrian, Druid, or whatever-if you live in America during the month of December-you have to deal with Christmas. You have to hear Christmas music, eat Christmas food, drink Cristmas drinks, smell Christmas scents, and fight your way through Christmas shopping.

Traffic on Friday by the Mall was a disaster-and I sure as hell wasn't going IN the mall-I stayed on the outskirts. Toys for Snooks, books for Grandpa, soap and candy for Grandma-and Abu Snookums now owns a special edition of Monty Python's the Meaning of Life DVD. But, it is such a commercialized shopping FRENZY. Is there a point to all of this if you are not an observant Christian? (and-correct me if I am wrong-but I think Jesus was really born in March or something, nobody really knows for sure).

Well, like it or not, I get that nostalgic feeling like the rest of us do. Every year we seem to hope for the "ideal" Christmas. The one with the perfect tree, the entire family around, the scent of pine in the air, and all of the traditions that have been a part of Christmas seemingly forever (but really less than 200 years).

It's all nice...but, do we REALLY need SANTA CLAUS?? The Santa claus hoax has to be the single greatest conspiracy of deception in the history of mankind. The Kennedy assassination has nothing on it. I was watching the NEWS tonight, and there was a report of how Santa does his job all in one night. NORAD has a website where you can track his journey on Christmas Eve! I even heard a news report where a first grade teacher was nearly fired from her job because she told her class that Santa Claus didn't exist!! Sure, I guess it's a fun fairy tale, but, I say, let's stop with the Santa shit! The government already lies to children-let's stop making parents lie to them too. If you look at the history you will find that the present view of Santa Claus is just an invention of greedy corporations getting parents to spend MORE money to make their pocketbooks fatter. DON'T BUY THE LIE!

Perhaps the best thing to do on Christmas may be to work in a soup kitchen, or help the needy-maybe take some of that Xbox 360 money and buy a pair of long underwear for some homeless dude in the street.

Yea, I know, I did NOT do that-but, the giving has mostly been more fun than the receiving anyway.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Happy Kwanzaa, and Merry Boxing Day.

Episode 58: Howard Stern and other fun stuff

listen here

We lighten up the mood by talking about Howard Stern a bit as he migrates off "terrestrial" radio and on to Sirius. Without him, Radio W.C. would not exist-as odd as that may seem. You'll have to listen to find out why.

Plus, we recommend a really fun website if you are into music, and opening your eyes to music that you may like.

Episode 57: Government spying, death penalty on other depressing stuff

listen here

Now we know that the government is spying on all of us-what are we supposed to do about it?

Also, some more stuff about Tookie Williams, and others who are being treated unfairly. Jeez, the death penalty is wrong...why don't you folks get it?

Who won the Iraqi elections?

Also, in local news, a vice principal is up to shenanigans with a student...imagine that!

What a wonderful place we live in.

Episode 56: Abu Snookums solo project

listen here

Abu Snookums tries his hand at doing a solo podcast-and does quite well if I may say so. More stuff about this "War on Christmas," and how the right-wing is turning it into an issue.

Also, a primer to Jesus in the eyes of Islam, for those of you who are not familiar. Don't worry Christians, they like Jesus just fine!

Plus, some music for your pleasure, and a tribute to the late, great Richard Pryor-one of the best comics of all time.

On a side note, Tookie Williams was executed earlier this week by his old workout buddy Arnold Schwarzenegger(sp?). I am sure on the next podcast we will speak about that at length, as it is a perfect example of everything that is wrong with having the government administer the death penalty.

Episode 55: Fun with airlines and air marshals

listen here

We discuss the air marshal who shot the bipolar guy. Not 100% cut-and-dry, but they need to be trained better. Ug, another example of our "shoot first, ask questions later" mentality.

Also, the "Tookie Williams" situation-can The Terminator do away with his old work-out buddy? We will find out Tuesday.

Plus, a re-cap of episode 53.

Winter has come early to the W.C., as it did in Chicago-when Southwest Airlines had their first fatality.

Episode 54: Abu Snookums returns

listen here

Not a lot of political stuff. Some reasons for the delay. Uncle Dan gets on Sirius radio-along with Radio W.C. Plus some more personal stuff about the young'uns.

Some stuff about music on the anniversary of John Lennon's death-and so did rock'n'roll!

And, towards the end, some politics return.

Been a while

Well, Abu Snookums and I have been busy lately, and time just flies by. We will have a new podcast soon, but we just wanted to let you know we haven't forgotten or anything like that.

Between two sick young'uns, and jobs (yes, both of us have actual jobs), and other stuff-we just haven't been able to get together as much recently. Who knows? We may do one as soon as tonight, but I'd feel a bit safer predicting one at least by or through the weekend.

Have a great day-and, the W.C. is expecting it's first big snowstorm tonight-so bundle up and drive carefully.

Episode 53: Uncle Dan solo

listen here

The Snookums family has taken ill, and Abu has a sick wife and sick young'uns to tend to. Just a cold, no big deal really, but Baby Snooks is cranky.

I talk about a conference that we went to at the University of Cincinnati about the Guantanimo Bay disaster. Also-a salute to our friends up north in Canada-wonderful place, and great news coverage. Note that you won't hear the numbers of Iraqi civilian deaths on the mainstream American media.

And, go to Huffington Post -and apply for the grant to save Iraq.
