Episode 76: Knee jerk reactions, and Baby Snooks joins in for the fun!

listen here

Well, Iraq is going into civil war-and all hell is breaking loose...what else is new? Plus-Abu Snookums admits to having a bit of a knee-jerk reaction to the UAE ports deal. And, we should all watch our 'knee-jerk' reactions and look at everything with a critical eye.

Also, if you are an alcoholic-and are going to a Muslim wedding, it will be BYOB!

And as Baby Snooks joins in, we have a few things to say about Black History Month, and our neighborhood grocery store has a rather interesting display that they have in their attempt to me all inclusive.

Plus, more proof that Rush Limbaugh is a jerk.

Episode 75: Ug, agreeing with Bush leaves a bad taste in your mouth

listen here

Well, we come pretty close to agreeing with Bush regarding the management of the U.S. ports by the United Arab Emirates. Well, it's a long story.

The real story is it reveals the extent of anti-Muslim bigotry in the country, as well as the world. And this bigotry exists on both the left, and the right...think about it-maybe even YOU!!

Episode 74: Wrapping up the Cheney shooting, plus more cartoon stuff

listen here

Excuse the intro...I don't think that anything can redeem the song "My Humps." Anyway, we discuss further the rumor that was the last blog post regarding Dick Cheney, and why there are still some unanswered questions. We go from that to ask about why lethal force is necessary in the first place.

Also, we discuss a bit about Islamic (and Jewish) dietary restrictions as a primer for everyone.

Finally, the Muhammad cartoon contraversy won't go away-and Abu Snookums has more to say about that.

Dick Cheney hunts humans for sport!!!

The recent hunting mishap by Vice President Dick Cheney the other day brought up some rumor that I had heard a few years back. Specifically, that Cheney and his friends go out on his large ranch in Wyoming and hunt human targets.

Now, personally, I doubt this to be true, for two reasons:

1) As evil of a neo-con asshole bastard JERK that he is, it takes a certian psychosis and mental instability to actually shoot a person for sport--look at John Muhammad (DC sniper) as an example. And it would seem to me that such a mental disorder would be inconsistant with the political savvy and whatnot that will get you high enough up the ladder to be V.P.

2) In these times with our instant communications and various press leaks-he would never have gotten away with it (especially since these rumors imply that this 'Human Hunt' is an annual-or at least frequent-event).

If you are unfamiliar with this legend, you can find out more here.

But, as I write this...I think that anything is at least REMOTELY possible.

Just some food for thought if Cheney ever invites you to spend some time at his ranch.

Episode 73: Ohio politics, and what to do with Ann Coulter

listen here

Ken Blackwell has a running mate-Tom Raga, we chat about him a bit.

Also, Ann Coulter is insulting the Muslim religion with impunity it seems. She seems to not have much of a problem with killing Muslims, and I was just curious as to why there isn't more of an outrage. Which is more dangerous, Ann Coulter, or those cartoons.

Sorry we didn't know about the Dick Cheney shooting incident, as that has great comedic possibilities.

UPDATE: in Turkey the protests involved throwing eggs

Episode 72: The Olympics, and internet predators

listen here

We start out this episode by goofing a bit on the Olympics. Abu Snookums is upset that some of his favorite shows are going to be pre-empted.

Our obesssion with talk radio continues, as our local lliberal talk radio station is pre-empted either by college basketball, or an insane, unintelligable preacher.

Our local NBC station did a sting to catch internet predators for February sweeps-so you'd better be scared of white people parents, as they want to rape your daughters.

Inspired by that, we have a sting of our own in mind: We will troll the internet pretending that we are arms dealers with a nuclear missle for sale, and see if we can catch terrorists who come to the house to pick it up...it will work probably as well as the real "War on Terror" has worked out.

Episode 71: Janet Jackson's nipple, plus much more...

listen here

Why wasn't Justin Timberlake blamed more than Janet Jackson for the nipple incident a few years ago?

Then we talk about music and the continued decline of Western civilization as we always do.

Abu Snookums is smoking again-sometimes he smokes cloves, but in the end, he is clueless.

And finally, our posthumous public service announcements to be released in the event of our deaths.

Episode 70: Offensive cartoons and personal crap

listen here

We should know better than to listen to right-wing radio, but, it gets our anger up every time. And, I never knew that John Kerry shot himself in the butt to win a medal in Vietnam.

Plus, why if you make an offensive cartoon about the prophet Muhammad, you shouldn't be too suprised if lots of Muslims get pissed!

Also, some therapy for Uncle Dan, as he is living in a world of confusion.

Some chat about Baby Snooks language skills, and the Superbowl, and the Cincinnati Bengals.
