Episode 24: The Supreme Court . . . Ah, Those Guys Are So Funny.

It is the night before Obama’s first State of the Union address and we choose to declare the end of the world as we know it.  Who wouldn’t, what with recent Supreme Court decisions, recent Massachusetts elections, recent Obama policy announcements echoing those of his Presidential rival’s, and a recent and very boring NFL post season, that may show the sport for what it is, 11 minutes of action surrounded by commercials.  I mean, what’s not to rant about?

We drink Blue Moon Brewing’s Full Moon Winter Ale while ranting.

Now, the key statement here is that we taped this the night before the State of the Union.  So, a quick poll:

  1. We were way off base in our assertions
  2. We were correct as usual
  3. Screw polls, polling, and pollsters.

Feel free to use the comments to enter your choice.

Episode 23: A Preponderance of Suck

Well, as you can tell by the title we spend our time on this show looking back at 2009 and all the things our politicians accomplished.  After a brutal 2008 and sweeping changes in the American leadership we expected a little more from 2009 than what we got.  Was there any upside?  Where’s the change?  Where’s the beef?  Where’s my beer?. . .

. . . here it is.  A Baltic Thunder porter from Victory Brewing in Downington, PA.

Episode the First, Warts and All

Here it is, the first episode of The Failure Option.

In it we discuss President Obama’s speech to the joint houses of Congress and the state of the recession while enjoying some Stockyard Oatmeal Stout from Stockyard Brewing in Chicago.  We were going to discuss some other things until we discovered how long we rambled.  Yikes!
