Ricochet is the best place on the internet to discuss the issues of the day, either through commenting on posts or writing your own for our active and dynamic community in a fully moderated environment. In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
There’s only one more show until the big live extravaganza (where there’ll be plenty of swanning, apparently). In this prelude to our big night in Los Angeles, we discuss the blackballing of Mike Huckabee, snow days in Washington D.C. (courtesy of guest Jonah Goldberg), umlauts vs. diaereses, and…puppies. Then, Victor Davis Hanson drops by to opine on Obama, entitlements, and whether he’ll ever run for Governor of California. He didn’t say no!
Music from this week’s episode:
Swan Lake Ballet Suite, Op. 20 by Pyor Ilyich Tchaikovsky
The Ricochet Podcast opening theme was composed and produced by James Lileks.
Nice codpiece, EJHill

Not sure he’ll feel great about his work living on…
Am I the only one to whom “Your Dirty Rat” entered the cultural memory via the first or second Ninja Turtles movie? (Mikey liked to do impressions).
Quoth April: “That must be Splinter’s favorite!”
Umlaut is actually a very good name for a medium-sized or larger dog.
…
Possibly until now!
Curse it, now I’ve got the ‘ninja rap’ in my head.
Here.
Have you ever seen a turtle get down?
When I hear that recording, I think of “The Mummy” with Boris Karloff.
This could be arranged…

There are in fact other ship sinking films since Titanic… Poseidon, a remake of The Poseidon Adventure, comes to mind.
James, you err. Peter would Isadora Duncan himself on VDH’s tractor. Sarah Bernhardt died “peacefully in the arms of her son” of uremia, a consequence of kidney failure.
