  • S2 E23: An Editorial Retrospect Toast

    The audacity of a person in 1896 to suggest that journalism maintain the highest degree of fidelity to uphold a reliable name in current events provides a timely word of wisdom to the “overseers of the Internet” today. Okay, Google…how do you define “internet accountability?”

  • S2 E22: Speech On Corn Laws

    Hey. British people love corn, too! Just not the type of corn you’re thinking about. Welcome to this corny episode! And I really hope I didn’t grossly misrepresent the basic economic principles of logic. I apologize to economists everywhere for the words I spoke about the subject, if so.

  • S2 E20: Strange Adventures Of A Pebble - Ch. 12

    What is the end goal of the world? Are we just a by-product of random chance that has no potential for improvement and growth? Obviously, not, but people just feel the need to accelerate the “evolution” of man through technology all the same. There’s nothing like a pebble to humble you and put you in your place.

  • S2 E19: Strange Adventures Of A Pebble - Ch. 9

    Wouldn’t it be nice if we humans all were marked for death with as plain of indicator as the death of lakes? That way we could tell who we should dedicate healthcare resources to, and who we shouldn’t. Just a thought. Oh yeah, and we should rename Lake Michigan, Lake Wisconsin since Wisconsin is clearly the superior state.

    There’s nothing quite like reading about snow as a native Midwesterner at the end of May! From dumping snow in the Boston harbor to incorporating flame throwers, what are some good ways to clean up snow? Perhaps the comment section of a 2009 blog will have a palatable solution.

    From trash dealers to landfills, home refuse disposal transformed the landscape of England, the ocean, and the entire world’s thinking on sanitation. I don’t think I would be spoiling anything to mention that the US is home to world’s largest landfill. Go US!

      Could Canada be to blame for our current state of environmental discord in the sanitation department? In the spirit of all good politicians, we must blame another country or person instead of taking personal responsibility for our actions. Oh, yeah. This is an episode about trash cans and dump trucks. Weird.
