After a bit of a hiatus, America's favorite podcasting couple, Mark and Mollie Hemingway return to the interwebs just in the nick of time with another installment of The Hemingways. This week, they banter about the state of Ricochet, gun control and what's to be done, reveal their unique approach to purchasing a Christmas tree, a frank discussion on holiday music, and of course "The Fight of The Week." Happy holidays from The Hemingways.

Re: It's Cold Outside
I endorse your honesty about Santa.

Re: It's Cold Outside
Mollie: Glad you mentioned the soul-crusing college indoctrination seminars on male/female conduct.
They don't work (the kids aren't having any less sex), they lack any sense of the beautiful (a sonnet or a formal dance contain more truth about human things--we don't value "forms" anymore), they are rife with politically correct nonsense (rape is so broad as to almost include unwanted hand-holding), they don't speak to men as men and women as women, and they presume that you can raise a generation without any moral moorings and then hope a Powerpoint or group discussion makes up for the lack of deep-seated moral fiber (here's a hint: it doesn't. Especially not when alcohol and party atmosphere and especially the intoxication of freedom from family and restraint enter the mix).

Re: It's Cold Outside
YES! Baby It's Cold Outside is one of my favorite songs, and it's such an amazing story that Qutb hated America for it! Of course that line is about just a strong drink and not a date rape drug. Geez. Who says such stupid things? Feminists, that's who. Great podcast.

Not exactly interventionist, but the Great White Fleet was before WWI.

Re: It's Cold Outside
Oh Mollie, no Santa!? My brother tried this with his oldest. All he did was rob his son of one of the greatest parts of childhood.
Kids can learn the reason for the season and believe in Santa.
Santa was one of the most wonderful parts of my childhood. It pains me when people deprive children of it.

Not sure if it's just on my end, but this isn't loading in the SuperFeed, and it doesn't launch from the Play option. The direct link to the MP3 does work, though.

Re: It's Cold Outside
Is there some sort of technical problem with this podcast; I am logged in as a member but get a retort that I must be logged in to get the podcast.

Re: It's Cold Outside
Great podcast, as always! You all HAVE to do this more frequently.
Regarding party ID & guns, someone (probably Glenn, instapundit.com) pointed to this post by Nate Silver: http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/12/18/in-gun-ownership-statistics-partisan-divide-is-sharp/

Re: It's Cold Outside
Yes, Mark, all versions of "Baby It's Cold Outside" are sung that way.

Re: It's Cold Outside
The address for this Hemingway play in new window needs adjusting.
I am getting a wrong address message.

Mollie's giggle never gets old...

Re: It's Cold Outside
I don't think we're doomed.
But we are in for a very tough time.
For now, I do almost think the sooner this spendaholic nation "hits bottom" the better. (It's probably just as well that Romney did not win, because he would have only postponed the inevitable, thereby making it harder to recover.)
I'm almost glad to be too old be around long enough to see the worst of it, but regret that I won't be around to help the kids get through it.

Re: It's Cold Outside
This podcast episode was mistakenly marked as "hidden" in our system, and thus caused some problems with accessing parts of it.
I've fixed the problem-- enjoy!

Re: It's Cold Outside
I do like the song, but I have to say the idea of Willie Nelson singing it to Norah Jones (who I both love) does make the song creepy. However, I am anxiously awaiting the Tony Bennett-Miley Cyrus version any day now.

Re: It's Cold Outside
Give it up for Frank Loesser! Great songwriter, great song. Mark Steyn has a wonderful column about it (I love his music columns generally), from which I learned that Loesser wrote "Baby, It's Cold Outside" as a kind of holiday party entertainment song, which he performed with his wife whenever the company demanded a musical performance. Obviously it was a huge hit, and has now been covered by everyone under the sun. But knowing the history makes it a particularly appropriate song for the Hemingway podcast, wouldn't you say?
Re: It's Cold Outside
My bad. Sorry everyone.

Re: It's Cold Outside
I used think that Innuendo was Italian for enema..
I read that Qutb in Colorado was irked by watching young ones dance to Moonglow as in the Picnic sexy dance.. just how uptight are these people.. well we know how uptight they are.. Just imagine him watching Kim Novak swing those hips..
