We start out by wishing our music
master DJ Lodger a happy birthday, Largo does a good Christopher
Walken imitation, and Autumn explores conservative porn talk before
we get on topic with Arlen Specter's defection to the Democratic
party in order to survive politically. We also deflate the thought of
using questions of loyalty as a weapon against Specter because,
honestly, he's been in office for the last 30 years. Anyone who
doesn't know him by now in Pennsylvania just hasn't been paying
attention. This also leads to Largo lobbying once again for term
limits in politics (while coughing his lungs out), Autumn getting Ron
Paul and Ron Jeremy confused, and Sanguinist exploring how keeping
Democrats together is like herding cats. This leads to an examination
of our memories of the '80s (those of us that have them) before we
get back to needing seniority to get anything done in politics (and
we also look at bestiality. Seriously. But we try to leave Skeletor's
mother out of it. But we won't leave Chris Matthews out of it, nor
will we leave out either Honest Bob's rodents of unusual size or
Sanguinist's fighting barn cat.)
Shifting gears, we look at Miss
California's assertion that she's being punished for her beliefs on
opposite marriage by having near-naked pictures of her being
released. This leads to a more general discussion about 'protecting
the sanctity of marriage' and a general lack of awareness of personal
responsibility and consequences.
As Largo coughs some more, we return to
the topic of Swine Flu and how the media has really over emphasized
its danger. We also look at how little sense it makes for the folks
who work in food service likely not being able to take time off from
work when they're sick. We also run down our own personal bests
regarding wicked cases of the flu. This somehow leads to Invader Zim
attacking vegans by using a Meat Mech.
The SVR crew then gives their views on
X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Give it a listen and see why Largo
disagrees with the critics and some of his cohosts. Mostly. We also
then look at the trailers for Terminator: Salvation, Night at the
Museum 2, 9, District 9, Funny People, and Transformers: Revenge of
the Fallen. We then all promise to see Star Trek for our next show
before digressing on the potential problems of having a hot, young
crew and how that may be needed to bing in some new blood to the fan
base. Largo closes us out by giving a brief look at Star Trek Season
1 on Blu-Ray.
