Olbermann on the GOP and 9/11™

Episode 31 – North by Northwest

This week’s show:

We start by bashing the pick for VP by the McCain camp – Sarah Palin, and her wacky views on abstinence only education. We also talk about John McCain and his strange discussion with union workers. We run through the RIAA and the silly policy of having schools as enforcers.

We review North by Northwest. Tom and Cecil find it to be one of the most boring films ever made. Tom rates it .075 and Cecil gives it a .25, both call it unwatchably bad.

We finish the show by talking about the moon landing hoax nutters and the great episode of Mythbusters where they demolish the controversy.

We abort the Critical Reinterpretation. If you want to hear more reinterpretations, send us an e-mail and let us know.

I got resurrected right in the face….

Douchebag healer can raise the dead.

Here is a great story and an amusing chat about it between Cecil and Tom.

Cecil: this dude is the real deal

Thomas: kicked in the face to be healed?
Its the octagon of healing

Cecil: look in order to get people’s attention, you have to be an entertainer too!
I wonder if it was like a James Brown kick. like we was pacing back and forth… then screamed like “GaWD! Hit me!
kick to the face
person slumps
he says hallelujah and knees a prostrate cancer patient in the balls

Thomas: This guy is awesome. By the power vested in me with this spinning backfist, I now pronounce you healed. Except your jaw. I broke that.
Also, he claims to raise the dead

Cecil: yeah, who doesn’t these days. I think it’s resurrection days down at KFC

Thomas: LOL

Thomas: real buffalo in the buffalo wings too

Cecil: it’s amazing they can fly with those little guys

Thomas: They’re like bumblebees. No one knows.
except science

Cecil: yeah but science probably can’t raise you from the dead. I mean God can… or at least this guy can

Robot with Rat Brain.

We’d like to take a moment at Everyone’s a Critic to welcome our Rat/Robot overlords!

Otter waiting patiently for
the sea to do it’s thing

We start out by talking about Rush Limbaugh and his musings about the Exxon Valdez, the idiotic remarks of Representative Sali and how oil can come from trees, and Walmart’s plan to remain union free.

Tom and Cecil then discuss using religion as a shield and some equal opportunity religion bashing. They finish with a Critical Reinterpretation of TPain’s “Low”

This Week’s Show:

We start the show this time reading e-mail and then moving on to some news items. We talk about Ted Haggard and his departure from a restoration program and the New Life Church. We also talk about Fox and the journalistic integrity they show, as well as Muslims and bomb sniffing dogs. We move on to Citizen Kane, Tom and Cecil both think it is shot well but the story leaves a lot to be desired. We both rate it 1.0, just like AFI. We move on to capitol punishment and talk about the supreme court decision on that topic. We finish with a Critical Reinterpretation of Getcha Groove on, by Limp Bizkit.

Also we say goodbye to George Carlin. Here is one of our favorite bits.
