WMDs are found in Iraq but the "Bush Lied" crowd doesn't care.  Plus we decide to trash the 5 minute limit, too confining.  The Hippie Killers have got to be free to be us baby; long-winded and self-amused.

In this episode we discuss the hippies new attempt to shirk the negative connotations that they have created for the term Liberal by co-opting Libertarian.  We also discuss another Jack Clarke clip, this one about how Bush's tax cuts are "stealing" from the poor.  In our last segment we discuss a brief clip from the Cato Daily Podcast talking about Al Gore's new movie "An Inconvenient Truth."  It's a short episode but it's cram-packed full of little golden pearls of dharmic insight.

A congressional committee attempts to raise the minimum wage.

We discuss Jack Clark's, from Blast the Right, praise of Bolivia's decision to nationalize their Oil and Natural Gas reserves. Then our sites are turned on to the speech that United Nations Deputy Secretary-General Mark Malloch Brown made on 7JUN06.

It's a short show, but there's alot of interesting ideas.  There's a really good rant against cultural relativism about 25 minutes in, and Bob proposes a new franchise scheme that should give you something to think about.
