Prompted by a recent slew of Facebook status's on the subject of the Pledge of Allegiance, I discuss the actual history of its origin and whether it is as romantic or as patriotic as people think it is.

Also, is it necessary to recite it anymore and should it be mandatory? Naturally this transitions into additional tangents of discussion and subject matter!

I'm heading back to Washington for Jon Stewart's, "Rally to Restore Sanity". In this segment I discuss why such a rally is needed, what I hope it accomplishes and whether or not we will eventually all be able to act like we are from the same f$@king planet again.

Off to a slow start, but this 2-hr segment ramps up as I discuss deceptive news reporting, controlling perception heading into the mid-term elections, the rise of Tea-bagger candidates and what it will mean in the general, the dangers of a misinformed populace, partisan news organizations and the increasing lack of rational, reasonable and intelligent discourse in this country.

Vanessa G of Girls-Gone-Geek.com rejoins Stimulated Boredom, as we discuss all things Dragon*Con.

We leave the comic book discussions behind in this impossible to describe (but not to be missed) segment!

Everything from Pastor Jones, the media, politics, religion, college football, why Florida sucks, 1st Amendment rights and so much more.

We get a little loopy as we seamlessly transition from the serious to downright wacky in what could only be described as a wildly random and entertaining late-night conversation between friends!
