    Speaking of unconventional music…

    What do you think of Jinjer (a Ukrainian band – they sing in English) song Pisces?

    She’s amazingly talented, but quite shocking…

    Going to enjoy this a lot!  I remember her with Benson on Hewitt as the “Young Guns”.

    Yes! MK is the only thoughtful reasonable voice left on CNN. Always enjoy hearing from her.

    True. I look up the clips on YouTube.

    We received our government tests yesterday for what it’s worth. I think my wife ordered them within a day or two of when the site came online.

    Its really unfortunate, that the lead singer Tatiania Shmailyuk, has continued her campaign of body modifications.

    It was great to hear MKH.  Been a long time.  Heck, good to hear Jon as well!  Loved the bit about the stealth baby.  Fricking undocumented arrivals takin our jerbs!  Eventually.

    Good podcast, if the View had any sense, they would put MKH on that show

    My wife ordered ours about the same time. I figured we would get them in about a year or two. Plus, they will probably be made in China. I just got an email special from Costco. They offer 5 kits for about $36 with free shipping. I think they will be on my front stoop tomorrow, barring our snowstorm delay.

    I suppose the government ones are all the same. Mine is an iHealth one and made in China. A few months ago I ordered a couple from Walmart and received them in a day or two.

    The problem is that MKH has good sense, and would duck that one like the plague that it is.

    If CNN had good sense they’d give MKH her own hour to talk or interview guests as she sees fit.

    And a bargain-basement Scott Ian from Anthrax on drums!

    You waited until 34:51 to drop the bomb that MKH is now on CNN?

    How would I have known i was wasting my time on this one? Put it in the episode description, please.
