Quick! Everybody change partners!  Switch it up! – Sarah Palin comes out in support of North Korea and David Cunliffe comes out in supports of not-quite-but-kind-of-privatisation-but-not-really.  It’s like that movie, you know?

Episode 89: Welfare Warfare

Friday, November 26th, 2010

Back in August Paula Rebstock, a former commerce commission head and therefore the most appropriate person to make these sorts of life-and-death decisions, released her welfare working group’s issue paper which set us off like a firecracker in episode 50 (highlight here).  Rebstock is back this week, with her group’s recommendations.  Claiming our economy cannot support our society, she makes the dual mistake of forgetting that it’s our society that should come before our economy in that sentence, and that economies do tend to behave rather catastrophically when you base them on bullshit figures.

Hillary’s been here for a visit.  Which was nice.  Pity her country went completely to shit while she was away from it.  Noam Chomsky has a yarn about shenanigans, Dan and Dave triumphantly enter parliament on visitor’s open day to check out the naughty chair.  Also: q) what’s fun to do while drunk?  a) almost anything but especially throwing things in the harbour.

We’re trying something out with the audio settings so that you can listen to us without pumping your volume to the max and then forget to reset it to a painless level when you go back to listening to your raps.  Taken us, what, 82 episodes to figure that out?  Not like anyone involved with this studied audio engineering or anything.  Best podcast ever.

Darren Watson, Wellington blues icon and all ’round nice fella, swung by for a chat.  DW’s never been afraid of speaking his mind on political issues, as anyone who’s seen him alter the lyrics mid-performance of blues numbers to ridicule National supporters can attest.

Darren’s new album “Saint Hilda’s Faithless Boy” is out November 1st on Red Rocks Records.  Release parties are in Wellington on the 21st October at Ruby Lounge and in Auckland on the 23rd of October at Juice Bar.

In this episode we slander interview an absent guest, partake in the great tradition common to all enlightened cultures of forcing eachother to admit who we voted for, and reminisce about a time when BP could combine every sin on the books and yet still get it right.

Bit of a busy weekend so I haven’t had a chance to listen back to this one yet, but better get something out before you all forget we exist.  Will add in tags and a blurb later on.

update:  HEY!  well it turns out we talked about ACT again!  Specifically David Garret and his online dating conquests, among other things.  Hurrah.

Teachers are striking.  I bet it’s because they’re greedy little masked bandits hellbent on holding the nation’s children to ransom.  What say you?  We corral a real live teacher into the studio to hear their terrible demands.  WARNING: What you’re about to hear my shock you.

NEWMAN!

Today we recap our interaction with the Coastal Coalition, and the steamy depths of wacky beliefs held by other, smirking, ACT party affiliates, including their boners for stuff like Glenn Beck’s Restoring Honor rally and Ayn Rand, homicide groupie, because to people who hate other people, apparently this video is sublime:
