CSA Episode 181: "Once again, the hypocracy is overwhelming..."

We begin with a few updates; first an update about a Blue Canary Cream Ale failure, a freakonomics update about teachers cheating because they have an incentive - students doing well on standardized tests. Then there was a comment on the blog that posted about Snopes calling a story we did that was an internet hoax. Thanks to anonymous for pointing that out to us. Then on to Scott Walker, Governor of Wisconsin, who not only has hired his aide's mistress for a secretarial job, but now it is revealed that he hired the son of one of his biggest supporters, totally unqualified, for a high paying government position. Forget about the fact that he doesn't have a college degree but does have 2 drunk driving convictions. But at least Gov. Walker is getting rid of those pesky unions and giving the corporations of the Koch brothers giant tax breaks. That man is an idiot. Then the boys start to talk finance and the GOP plan to cut Medicaid and hurt the poor and disabled in this country. Yea team. This leads to the end of the show, on a lighter note. Obama using Facebook as part of his reelection campaign, a giant turtle captured and treated, a teenager who was robbing a house and gt punched in the mouth had his mother go to the home to retrieve them. Thank the internet for people like this, otherwise we would never smile!

CSA Episode 167 - So when do I get my Christmas present?

On tonights episode, the last recorded in 2010, the boys take a little trip through the internet as they do each week. First there are some updates - Blue Canary Batch #3 is in the bottle and referencing some errors in Virginia history books, we discuss all the errors that were found in a review of thew history books used in the curriculum there. Then onto Amazon's new service soon to start called "Gift Alert" where you can exchange gifts before you get them. Of course. Maqz only had 16 cents for T Fab P's Christmas present so he is still waiting for it to arrive. This discussion gets into how the internet has changed things and the way we do it. This induces a Gary Larsen reference to something he wrote 10 years ago about not posting his comics on the internet. Then on a serious note, Maqz brings up an update regarding WikiLeaks and what he has been reading about it and the economic impact on donations to them. There also is some discussion about the ethics behind what we know and say about the whole issue.

Give our last show of the year a listen!
