We've got a star driven panel this week as Pat Sajak, and Jonah Goldberg join the show. It's a fascinating conversation as they talk polling and how pollsters ask the delicate questions, movie marketing, why Obama's agenda polls terribly, but he himself doesn't. Also, dogs, liberal economics, Jonah Goldberg's unintentional impression of a Cylon, the predictable (and gratuitous) Star Trek reference and much more. All this, and Ethel Merman bringing up the rear. Yes, you read that right. Listen in!
Now, a hail of bullets:
- Disney hires an outside marketing exec to help build awareness for Pirates of The Caribbean 4
- Peter Robinson has a cold
- Pat Sajak's They Think He's a Muslim? So What's Your Point? post
- Father Charles Coughlin's Wikipedia entry
- Richard Cohen's Washington Post op-ed piece: Obama's Shrinking Presidency
- Victor Davis Hanson's piece ‘Like a Dog’: The Origins of Barack Obama’s Petulance on PajamasMedia.com
- A primer on Keynesian economics
- The Sponge episode from Seinfeld
Music from this week's episode:
- Wake Up by Arcade Fire
- There's No Business Like Show Business by Ethel Merman

@ 33:55: [On Obama's crackpot Keynesianism]: "Part of what's going on is that Americans recognize that in some way Obama and his advisors are etherial, they live in their heads, they don't live in America, they don't live on the ground, they don't live in the world of actual lived experience."
I don't mind intellectuals building castles in the air. I just object when they force me to live in them.
