Loading...(2010/11/03) Alcohol is the most dangerous drug, News Corp. and "unbiased" journalmalism, and why it’s okay to change your mind
Episode #190 Allison opens the show with a ridiculous quote from a ridiculous man, Governor Sean Parnell, who said, “I really don’t know. For either one of us to [answer] is quite speculative,” in response to being asked if Earth is 6,000 or 6 billion-years-old.
According to a recent UK study, alcohol is the most dangerous drug – worse than heroine, and nearly 4 times worse than pot. Allison and Jamie talk about their own experiences with alcohol, and also the need to end all kinds of prohibition, which is why recent ballot initiatives like Prop 19 are so important for the country’s future.
Jamie discusses his disdain for CNN anchor Tony Harris, and Allison talks about how Fox Business Network recently focused on something called the “War on Business,” including a California ballot initiative that parent company News Corp. has spent $1.3 million to defeat, according to the New York Times. Journalmalism, FTW!
Oklahoma has a ballot initiative to ban Sharia law in the United States. Allison says it’s about time! (not really.) Jamie explains why this may not be the best way to woo moderate Muslims.
It’s time for more of your Listener Mail! Questions/comments this week concern the length of the show (and being a spoiled brat,) and why changing your mind isn’t a bad thing.
