Fun With Dick & Jane

It’s the second installment absolutely no one requested! This time I’m covering –in a wholly untimely fashion– Jane’s comments on the April 15th Tea Parties, Democratic hypocrisy, the CIA torture investigation, Obama & racism, and healthcare. This episode is about twice as long as the first, so if you disliked it, you’re really gonna hate this one a bunch.

Oh, and stay tuned for a full episode of FWDAJ, which I’m editing even as I post this.

Today we started with state politics, particularly Dick’s prediction that Paul Kirk would be named interim successor to Senator Kennedy. I noted that everyone else was predicting Michael Dukakis to the seat. If I’m reading my tweets correctly, as of 2:30 on 9-24-09, Dick had it right.

Next week tackled ACORN with the emphasis on the President’s attempt to disassociate himself with a group he has been associated with for 20 years. We talked about how all of the MA delegation voted to NOT defund ACORN after the recent scandals, except for John Tierney and Barney Frank, who abstained.

Finally we talked about my very favorite part of the scandal which is how it has shown the media to be shilling for the President, as most of the mainstream media declined to mention the scandal until the vote took place.

The fact that the vote took place at all tells me that regardless of the attempts to downplay the Tea Party last week, Congress heard us.

We went on to the latest scandal where the White House coordinated with the National Endowment for the Arts in what certainly looks like an attempt to get the arts community to push the president’s agenda in exchange for grant money. Dick had not heard of the scandal once again highlighting the negligence of the media.

In the discussion the media, special mention was given to Andrew Breitbart’s new website, Big Government, which is leading the charge on exposing both the administration and the media.

There was a lot in between but we ended talking how the administration is back pedaling on what it always called “the good war”, and how reports from Iran are very encouraging.

There is more but you will have to listen.

Today’s show was really fun. We spent a great deal of time talking about last weekend’s DC Tea Party, which I attended, and which was nothing short of spectacular.

More photos here. I think you will enjoy them.

We also talked about my trip to Capital Hill, Arlington, and the opulence of DC. Enjoy!

I left for DC immediately after the show last week which is why there is no podcast posted. The podcast will resume tomorrow. Tune in tomorrow to hear about my fabulous week in DC, the extraordinary DC Tea Party and some interesting interactions with Congress.

I came home on a mission. Many politicians in DC make it very clear that they are above us. The entire city reflects that position. We need to bring them down to size or better still get rid of them. If you want to be involved email me at fwdaj.com and we can do it together.

The show started with Ted Kennedy and quickly morphed into the upcoming Senate race to replace him. Dick hopes for a Kerry Healey v Martha Coakley race, which would be entertaining as heck if it happened.

Our discussion about MA politics slid into the new proposed MA Pandemic bill which would give government the right to search any home without a warrant, and seize and destroy whatever it saw fit in your home, without ramification.

That led us to Rockefeller’s legislation to give the WH power to seize the internet.

All that talk of Government control scared the daylights out of me so we went on to discuss the OMB rule that requires all construction over $25m on federal buildings be done by union members. Not only will this rule raise the cost of construction by 10-20%, it will preclude about 85% of construction workers from getting work on these projects.

On a happier note, we talked about how things feel different. Revolution is in the air. Everyone but our elected officials can feel it. People who have never participated before are participating. It is really spectacular.

We ended on the Cheney – Obama slap down about EIT’s and our security, but not before Dick became Orin Hatch for a few minutes.
