Ricochet Podcast #98: Does Not Compute
We've got a full boat this week: InstaPundit's Glenn's Reynolds, firearms for Christmas, havoc in the primary process, our choice for Person of The Year, and driving across America with Rob Long. Yup, it's another Ricochet Podcast.
Music from this week's episode:
- This Is Why We Fight by The Decemberists
- Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree by Brenda Lee

Best line was from James, who was not sure if he would want to elect, say, a TERTIARY syphilitic camel over Obama: "I don't want that hoof on the button!"

The only version of "Santa Baby" worth listening to is by Eartha Kitt. Oh, those S's...

Leslie Watkins: .. Glenn is one of my heroes because he's fair and generous and comes from great people but doesn't brag about it and is interested in so many things but is natural and apparently easy-going. I'm from the south so I can get away with calling him that best kind of good-ole-boy. (Not to mention that his wife is gorgeous and smart and tough.) Very glad he was on the podcast. · Dec 15 at 4:21pm
Anyone who uses the expression "blowed up good" is OK in my book. · Dec 16 at 7:31am

I second this emotion. You really can't have too many SCTV shout-outs, in my humble opinion.

Having read the Gingrich editorial, listened to Young Guns #8 and then listened to "Does Not Compute" where Rob Long explained that the demise of Time and Newsweek could be pinned to their attempts to "re-educate the electorate" . Really?

Excellent job as always, fellas! I love that you had Glenn on -- I'm a longtime Instapundit fan too.
Rob's comments near the close, regarding the self-inflicted decline of print publications that veered from news reporting into advocacy journalism, were a gem of insight that I felt had to be held up and quoted. What he describes, it seems to me, is exactly what happened. If only they'd take their fingers out of their ears, the mainstream press might have hope of saving (or creating?) their own jobs.
