Episode 560: Behind the Times

Idiots On Parade, the Too Ugly for TV Podcast

In the movie L.A. Story, weatherman Steve Martin (or, realistically, Steve Martin’s weatherman character) pre-records his broadcast…

…and gets it wrong.

Well, that’s what we’re doing right now.

The Idiots are recording one week in advance, because nathan (as this airs) is in Costa Rica.

Supposedly, the resort is surrounded by monkeys. Hopefully this is true, and they are habituated to humans.

(If not, nathan will return a damaged man.)

The breaking news (as we record) is the tragic death of 3 U.S. soldiers in Jordan.

Many more were injured, and it’s time to retaliate.

nathan thinks we should bomb Iran directly; Jake isn’t so sure, but this morning General Westley Clark chimed in and also called for a direct bombing of Iran.

By the time we record again, something will have happened. Will we be in the middle of WW3?

Who knows?

Also: the Republicans have offered absolutely nothing in the way of legislation since taking control of the House of Representatives. Are Democrats shouting that from the rooftops?

Of course not.

Democrats are horrible at messaging.

Idiots on Parade: we mock the news, so you don’t have to.

Tune in and get your giggle on.
