This week's show featured highly contentious articles about how teenagers are ignorant of history and literature and the failure of No Child Left Behind/standardized testing, a new poll showing that people will likely spend their tax rebates on paying down their debt or put the money into savings, not on stimulating the economy through the purchasing of American goods, the latest exchange between Israelis and Palestinians and how peace cannot be achieved without a fundamental change in mindset of the Palestinian people, and finally, the developing saga involving Roger Clemens' steroid use and his inability to tell the truth.
Enjoy the leap year day and have an honest weekend!
This week revolved around the Texas Democratic debate between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, David Brooks' diagnosis of Obama supporters as being afflicted with "Obama Comedown Syndrome," the New York Times-led controversy surrounding Republican presidential front runner John McCain and a female lobbyist, Egypt closing the border with Gaza and implications for peace, and a facebook comment on ending the trade embargo with Cuba.
This week's introduction featured music by Liam Finn and, as always, Mirrortest.
Have a diplomatic weekend!
If you don't like human equality, then I'd advise you not to listen to this program! This week I ripped into Mitt Romney's less-than-graceful exit from the presidential race, examined how the stimulus package does nothing to help the poor but pay off some monthly bills, and how this Superbowl's worst ads were racist cartoons launched by Salesgenie.com, approved by parent company InfoUSA's CEO Vinod Gupta.

Stay informed. Put up a fight.
Have an enlightened weekend!
Thanks for tuning in! This week I discussed the Obama-Clinton Democratic Debate, Frank Rich's view that the GOP has a better chance than ever to claim the presidency, how navy training activities involving sonar are killing whales off the San Diego coast, and a potential breakthrough in the Natalee Holloway case- to be revealed on Dutch TV Sunday.
Oh, and of course more ridiculous comments from antagonistic Facebookers.
