James Poulos sits in the guest chair as we talk Mitt-bivalence, whether or not a President Romney will actually repeal ObamaCare, discuss the many ways Republicans might lose this fall. Agree or disagree? Let us know in the comments.
Then the troubling story of Diane's dog, a "Heroes and Villains", and a "Culture Shock" round out this week's show. Photo of Diane's dog under the influence courtesy of Diane Ellis.

Re: The Young Guns #11: Stoner Dog
Blue Yeti: in your first sentence "appear" should read "repeal", I think.
Re: The Young Guns #11: Stoner Dog
Fixed. Thanks.

Re: The Young Guns #11: Stoner Dog
Maybe the Republican contest is just about over, but one advantage to keeping it up in the air is that the Democrats don't know who to savage yet. Once they know, it's going to be brutal.

Great Podcast. I've got to rewind this baby & play it again. After I visit google images first.

Sandra Fluke vacations in Spain, but can't afford her own birth control?

You conservatives are all the same. You should be ashamed of yourself. Logic and arithmetic never fed a starving child.

You're so right - what was I thinking? I missed the "Europe on 5 Drachmas a Day" she was carrying.

If you follow Attack Watch and similar sites, you'll know that the Democrats have thought they knew who to savage since roughly Summer 2011. It's the same guy they ran ads against in Florida and subsequent races. They've been far more clear eyed about it, understandably, than we have.
Re: The Young Guns #11: Stoner Dog
This was a good podcast, and that's a good looking dog.

Wow, lots of photos to research.
Now I've got to check out Google earth, examine that overhead view of the parent's neighbors. First I need to identify the standalone laundry room...
Troy, I agree about the NCAA play in games in that they are annoying. But I do not agree with the position that they dilute the quality. Last year VCU went to the final 4 as a dippy play in team.

First of all, I thought Scooby-Doo was the only dog that got high. I mean, what did you think he and Shaggy were doing in the back of the Mystery Machine? It's the reason they were always so hungry.
[Comment redacted]
Fluke's boyfriend dressed up in one of those green spandex head-to-toe suits? SHOCKED, I tell you. SHOCKED . . .
Finally, disclaimer: I will vote for whoever the Republican nominee is. Along with some of the Young Guns, I have reservations about Romney really, really repealing Obamacare. Somehow, like the manager he is, I think he's gonna find a way to manage around it while trying to diminish its effects at the same time. Romney wants the trains to run on time, not actually get rid of the rails where no trains run anymore.
P.S. Yes, I checked Google Images, too. Guilty as charged.

Re: The Young Guns #11: Stoner Dog
"Puppy Love" at the end was a hilarious. Who's call was that; Blue Yeti?
It was said on the podcast that most people just don't understand conservatism. That's because, as the saying goes, "Big minds discuss ideas." Nobody is discussing the ideas behind what we believe, just the events (Obamacare, delegate count) or the people (Fluke, Rush, MittRickNewt)
I got the itch to watch random clips of Milton Friedman on YouTube last night. He could take any situation and boil it down to the idea. Right now, Mark Levin is the only one I see doing that on a regular basis (for any situation). And man is he good.
It's not enough that Mitt has to be sat down and told why his first statement wasn't the best and then flip-flop. Obama does that. He needs to understand the philosophy and be able to explain it. I won't hold my breath, but he'll get my vote if he's the nominee.

I'm afraid of the phone. I admit it.
Re: The Young Guns #11: Stoner Dog
Apologies for coming to this a bit late (I've been bedridden with the flu since about 5 minutes after this podcast concluded). Perhaps I was too breezy here to make my point clear. Of course, you can still have a Cinderella emerge from these bottom eight. My point wasn't about diluting the quality of the individual teams so much as the quality of the tournament as a whole.
Unlike every other round, the play-ins explicitly pit marginal teams against each other. I can understand the appeal of doing something like that in Major League Baseball, where the new wild card will allow the 5th best team in a league into the playoffs. But the 61st through 64th? It just seems a little excessive to me.
Yeah...ok.:

Re: The Young Guns #11: Stoner Dog
So ... Carol Doda ... my initial thought was, isn't that the girl on Playboy After Dark 1967, the one who delivers cocktails balanced on her boobs? And my second thought was a flashback to a seamstress shop in Ripoff Alley outside an airbase where I was negotiating to get sergeant chevrons sewn on my shirtsleeves. The girl ahead of me was talking to the seamstress about darts in her blouse. I had never heard the term, so naturally I asked, what the hell are darts?
She looked me over rather cooly, determined I was asking out of pure ignorance, and then sketched an engineering drawing devoid of prurient features that enhanced my understanding of dress architecture.
She, and Diane, are classy ladies. Ms. Doda, maybe not quite so much, but not a tramp either, in me yout'ful memories.

Re: The Young Guns #11: Stoner Dog
One of the few times Mitt actually appeared to understand, at core, what conservative principles are, is when he responded to a questioner a few weeks ago with the "If you want something for free, vote for the other guy", but even then he missed the point. Everything has a cost, Mitt - and certainly Bain Boy should know that, at his core. So by someone demanding something for free, what they're really demanding is that somebody pay for whatever it is they want. Do people walk into diners shouting "Free dinners!" and expect everyone to uncork their wallets? If they don't do that, why do they think that's a perfectly reasonable demand for things like spermicide?
Liberals live in a world without costs. It never ceases to amaze me how little reality seems to wander into their worldview, and when it does, it's casually batted aside with clever words like "fascist" and "white guy".

Oh, and a brick of weed is probably not an inconsequential amount of cash to somebody. If they're storing that much next door, well, I'd be a) a little more careful with the pooch, and b) I'd be considering something adequate for home defense. Like a GAU-19 strapped to the roof.
