Episode 11: The Passion of Jay Bennish

In this episode we turn our sights on the latest example of rampant hippieism, Jay Bennish. We may not always address current events in the most timely fashion, but what we lack in speed we make up for in depth. Eschewing superficial analysis we bring you longer excerpts and discuss the issues. While most commentary has been directed at his Bush is like Hitler comments, or hippie indoctrination in the classroom, we focus mostly on his comments about terrorism and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Like most hippie positions, they do not stand up to any amount of reasoned critique. So join us as we deconstruct another batch of addlepated hippie assertions.
