Tue, 21 March 2006  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.Linknotes: The full Jay Bennish audio Bush's State of the Union speech, 2006 History of the Middle East (Israel/Palestine) UN GAR 181 Armstice Lines Shahada and the weaponizing of Palestinian children SIPRI report Linkography: The Case for Israel, Alan Dershowitz The History of Israel from The Rise of Zionism To Our Time, Howard Sachar Palestinian Media Watch UN GAR 3379, Zionism is Racism, the hippies have been against Israel for a long time Bennish Commentary: Michelle Malkin, with transcript Walter Williams, col 1, col 2 Thomas Sowell Comments[1] |
Mon, 6 March 2006 Bob and Mark discuss a few different topics. Mark talks about his recent employment situation which has given him new insight into why Japanese companies, in America, have such a greater competitive advantage than their American counterparts. They also discuss the origins of the Dick Cheney was drunk meme that's been going around. Bob brings up an article by Paul Krugman about where the productivity increase has gone. This leads into a discussion about how statistics are used in a rhetorical manner in order to further the hippie agenda which can only be attributed to a conscious desire to deceive the public.
