Uncle Dan Report #15: Obama, McCain, plus a review of 'The Dark Knight'

UDR#15

Again, thanks to Abu Snookums for sitting in on episode 14. Also, we discuss:

• 3 reporters for Obama, 1 for McCain? Fine by me. McCain is old news.
• Michael Savage is a dangerous idiot, and now he is after autistic people.
• Who is worse, Michael Savage and his ilk, or those who listen to him?
• Finally, thoughts on 'The Dark Knight', great film, and it almost lives up to the hype-unlike most over-hyped movies! Plus (like most other folks online), a comparison with the other 'Batmen.'
• E-mail me and let me know if the power went out in your theater when you saw the movie.
  

Maybe a bit heavy on the Batman stuff, and light on politics.

This is a long one, so be patient. And, for more Uncle Dan and Abu Snookums, go check out Radio WC.

Uncle Dan Report #13: Jesse Helms Dead; world a Better Place

UDR#13

Topics for this, the unlucky 13th episode include:

• Uncle Dan is pissed off at the world and his lame-ass summer job.
• Other news items are discussed briefly
• Jesse Helms, the right-wing senator from Hell, has finally died-and it's not the first time God has tried to kill him.
• If it weren't for him living in America, he probably would have been assassinated.

And be sure to listen to the end (especially you right-wingers) for a fun activity you can do just for fun!

Uncle Dan Report #12: Sirius Left, Bjork, Tibet, China, the list goes on and on...

UDR#12

The lovely Icelandic singer Bjork opens the special July 4th episode, topics include:

• Is it time to Declare Independence all over again?
• Sirius Left is the BEST commercial left-wing radio there is.
• Bjork pisses off China...who cares?
• Don't worry about the Middle-East, China is going to be the super-power of the future.
  

Uncle Dan Report #11: Ralph Nader, Ron Paul, Uncle Dan is demoralized by the "Suburbanization" of the area

UDR#11

Different things discussed on this episode:

• Obama wants to assassinate child rapists? Hmmmmm. Some ruminations on child-rape included.
• A minute or two on Ron Paul: independent thinker-good, Libertarian-not so good.
• Poor Ralph Nader-I agree with almost EVERYTHING he says, but the system is such that he has no chance. Possibly he could have started smaller instead of running for President.
• Uncle Dan's demoralizing search for a Bjork CD. It was finally obtained, but the voyage was trying indeed.

Uncle Dan Report #10: George Carlin Dead; America goes to Hell

UDR#10

Mostly stories and reflections on George Carlin, who is more of a cultural icon than Tim Russert, specifically:

• A great cold-open that has less in common with Ron Paul than his supporters would have you think (It came from a Ron Paul video montage)
• George Carlin covered a lot of ground in comedy, as both Bill Hicks, and Jerry Seinfeld, plus others, can lay claim to Carlin as an influence.
• Although I didn't know it at the time, when I was a child I learned about masturbation from Carlin, which would come in quite handy later on.
• Amazingly, Rush Limbaugh claimed Carlin as a kindred spirit-what a hoot!
• Other stuff about George Carlin.
• Finally, is America going to Hell?

And, if you listen all the way to the end, you'll find out my interesting (and yes, a bit sexist) take on Michelle Obama. You'll need to listen to the ENTIRE episode to find out.

Uncle Dan Report #9: More Bush crap, Goetta, and a mess of other stuff

UDR#9

Different things in this, the 9th episode:

• Uncle Dan apologizes for mis-numbering episodes.
• Uncle Dan has started reading "What's the Matter with Kansas?"
• The right-wing "Culture War" is what is keeping their party together.
• Goetta, what it is, plus, the enduring question: Is goetta considered a sausage?
• George Bush interviewed on Sky News...what an idiot, but we already know that.
