Link to the Show / Show NotesOn the docket this week:
-Torture Me This, Batman
-God, We're Old
-Guns Don't Kill People, Those Little Metal Things that Come Out of the Barrel Do
We begin by praising Burger King's ad campaign featuring The King, make applying an iron-on sound dirty, and discuss Prophylactics of the Round Table.
Getting on topic, we discuss the latest round of torture memos declassified by the Obama Administration before getting on our stumps to speak out yet again against torture (and for prosecution of those responsible in the face of Spain backing off.) We also look at the American Myth of Good Guys and Bad Guys, the miasma of paranoia that permeated the '80s, and just why Anarchy isn't a really good governing philosophy.
We then swing over to how Obama is going to piss almost everyone off by taking a middle-of-the-road stance on gun control. This moves us on to how personal responsibility stacks up against relinquishing control to the government. We close this topic out by pointing out just how many ways there are to kill a person without a gun.
Largo then corrects a misconception from a previous show: there is no provision for secession in the Texas state constitution, but that hasn't stopped Texas from talking about it, along with other states, Pennsylvania included, starting up sovereignty resolutions. We also look at the folly of trying to ban guns in Philadelphia and how both civics classes and polite cross-party dialogue have become endangered species.
We then feel old when we realize that Farscape is now ten years old, hit a few fun stories about the show, and then move onto yet another bad SyFy movie that really should have gotten them sued (and the first bad sci-fi movie that made Sanguinist change the station.) Largo then feels even older by reading some old G.I. Joe comics.
