Is beer being brewed in the White House? The Young Guns investigate this issue and then delve into the Ryan nomination, youth who are learning to hustle, whether or not foreign policy really matters to younger voters, recap the Olympics, F-bombs in popular culture, and of course Culture Shocks and Heroes and Villains. And yes, we get to hear just a little about Diane's honeymoon.

Where's my hat-tip for sending you the Zakaria/Yale story last week?
Nice job as always---the show is a highlight of my month.

Thank you.
And I must say I'm relieved that Blue Yeti didn't select Tom Waits "Pasties and a G-String" as the bumper music.

Re: White House Beer
Diane, that's funny that you used the phrase "Midwest earnestness" to describe Paul Ryan. Back in April, Ryan said this of Romney, “He reminds me of a lot of people I grew up with, a lot of people I know, who have that Midwest earnestness.”

Troy, since you had to complain about that Irish exile, I'm sure you'd like to know that the reason one James Joyce is so important is that he posthumously employs 7,000 English Lit professors around the world. One of my professors made that statement and seemed to regard it as a germane way to view the world. Oh, the joys of Palestinian, excuse me, English Literature.

Re: White House Beer
Speaking of coarsening of the culture, recently I've noticed in a popular show that I watch on cable that they've taken to using the S-word multiple times per episode. I don't know if there was a loosening of restrictions by the network or FCC, but the usage in the dialogue isn't subtle. When I hear the character dialogue I can't help but think that the writers are immature juveniles that are giggling at each time they put a swear word into the dialogue. The show is good enough that they don't need that. It's very bizarre.

Steven, that wouldn't be "Suits" by any chance, would it? Like the show, but could do without the profanity.
