NOT THAT WE HAVE A MASSIVE BACKLOG OR ANYTHING but I’ve been really busy. I’m working as a builder (yes! I am!) and that takes up a lot of my time. Today (two months ago) we talk about Chris Hayes, Remembrance Day, Obama on Polish Death Camps and the British Medical Association going on strike.
AND: female protagonists – Ayn Rand, the Hunger Games, Game of Thrones + POP CULTURE!!!

[...] This episode is freshly edited although about five weeks behind schedule. We talk a bit about patriotism, some stuff about Obama and then have a kind of interesting discussion comparing Atlas Shrugged to The Hunger Games. Enjoy the show and try not to be offended by the terribly foul language. This entry was written by admin, posted on July 7, 2012 at 7:47 pm, filed under Blog. Bookmark the permalink.
