Shock and Awesome Podcast 128 – Cained

In “Cained” TJ and The Tux salute the many figures that were caned in public this week, and you don’t have to travel to Singapore to find them. Most recently, in the CNBC Republican Presidential Debate, Rick Perry channeling Ronald Reagan, had a senior moment that would have made the “ol’ Gipper” proud and all but sealed Rick’s fate to go down as yet another forgettable mentally challenged Aggie.  I guess God has another plan for you my son…

 

The country is looking more and more like Italy each day, jobs are nowhere to be found, and do we get leadership, no, we get press conferences from blondes with bad haircuts secretly trying to audition for an afternoon news anchor spot at Fox News.  We get stories about how Nicolas Sarkozy left the mic up while talking shit about Bibi Netanyahu. We get angry mobs rushing to burn Dr. Conrad Murray while the real enablers, The Jackson Clan, sat idly by and enjoyed the photo op.

 

Meanwhile, Joe Paterno got canned when he should have been caned and we found out through Grand Jury documents that Penn State cares more about recruiting classes than the lives of little boys.  Still, the case of a missing DA, who disappeared in 2005 after NOT prosecuting alleged sexual abuser Jerry Sandusky, may be the angle of this enormous modern day Watergate style cover up to keep an eye on.
Greece is still in worse shape than a week old plate of parrot souvlaki.  We spoke to two Greeks, Andreas Papadopoulos and Yanni Andreopoulos, about how normal people have been affected by the government’s default.

 

RIP Smokin Joe Frazier and Heavy D.
