Episode 112: Cartoons and Ramadan

listen here

We have returned after an extended hiatus with some talk about cartoons. specifically, Uncle Dan is mystified as to why 'The Family Guy' is as popular as it is (even , seemingly, in academia), and is beginning to harbor doubts of his own feelings toward the show.

Also, some GOP shenanigans involving Jean Schmidt not writing her own editorials.

And finally, it is Ramadan, and Abu Snookums and Uncle Dan debate the lunar calender vs. the solar calender.

Episode 111: Porn, Afghanistan, and bugs

listen here

After chatting a bit about the spiders and bugs in the W.C., we chat about sex in movies and Geena Davis in 'The Fly.' Uncle Dan segues into porn after that...Abu Snookums prefers still photos to movement.

Some 9-11 stuff after that dealing with the upcoming fifth anniversary, like what would have been the best thing to do in Afghanistan and stuff like that. And finally we wrap it up with what U.S. foreign policy should be.
