Episode #152: Some Fixes, Some New Breaks
First Broadcast: 7/6/98.
Clinton,
China,
Tibet,
Windows
98, and Linux.
That's about all I
remember. It kinda went all over the place.
Episode #153: It's A Hot Issue
First Broadcast: 7/20/98.
This episode was mostly a look at an article in the July 27/August 3 issue
of The Nation, in which Christopher
Hitchens alleges that the Dalai Lama
favors nuclear testing,
persecutes religious
dissidents, and is against
oral sex and
anal sex, but
not prostitution
(unless someone else pays for
it). Unfortunately, I can't find any substantiation for the first charge,
I've read a different
view on the second charge, and the latter charges seem
to run counter to
a table of comparative religions I found the same day.
So who's right? Could be both for all I know.
Episode #154: Fountains, Hawks, and Snakes
First Broadcast: 7/27/98 -- Episode started 8 seconds too early
(our countdown was shown starting with number 8, along with our
"TONE HERE" message, which I guess was ignored).
Just a few of our ideas to improve
the New York City Subway.
Fountains to
make it cooler, and
hawks and
snakes to hunt the
rats.
It's a little unorthodox, but then again so is everything else on
our show.
Episode #155: Hello, Monica? This is Bill . . .
First Broadcast: 8/3/98
Yep, the whole
Monica Lewinsky thing has resurfaced once again. And even
as we speak, the
Episode #156: You Arkansas Devil, You . . .
First Broadcast: 8/17/98
Could be about what the President has to say about
that intern, could be
about what our alleged mayor is doing to close up all
our sex shops.
Could be a lot of things, I suppose.
Episode #157: I'm Not Wearing Any Pants
First Broadcast: 8/24/98
In case you missed it, we showed you
the President's official statement that
he did indeed have an
"inappropriate" relationship with
Miss Monica
Lewinsky--which is probably the closest admission to a blowjob he'll make
outside of a
grand jury (Don't you love
realvideo?).
So, my question is, if he lied about this,
what
else has he lied about? Sort of a rhetorical question, since I haven't really
trusted the man since
June, 1993, when he decided to bomb Iraq just for
the hell of it--to prove that he was really up to the task of being
"Presidential," I suppose. And now
he's bombed a few more countries just to
prove that he's "tough on crime"--I mean, "terrorism," 'cause he has to
bomb people to prove that using violence to get your way and frighten your
enemies is a bad thing, right? And is it just a coincidence that this
"sudden" bombing he ordered occured right after he said the country had
to "move on" from all this sex news? Hm.
Wag The Dog, anyone?
Episode #158: Screw Investor Confidence
First Broadcast: 9/7/98
A monologue mainly about
the economic crisis in Russia, and how it can
probably best be stifled by making sure that country doesn't
follow the
destructive course the United States and various other
money-hogs have laid out for it. Oh, did I mention I have no faith
in
the stock market either? Imagine that . . .
Episode #159: Beat Them With Their Own Clubs
First Broadcast: 9/14/98
Hmm. Am I talking more about the so-called
"million youth march" where the
crowd was urged to beat the police with guardrails ("in self defense") if
the police acted up? (Thanks for allowing that prophecy to be fulfilled,
Rudy. Sheesh!)
Or am I talking about
all those sex clubs which used
to exist in New York City before AIDS became so widespread? Could be both.
