Don’t worry, we are all right. But Lakeview (the part of Chicago better known as Boystown) and Andersonville (the part of Chicago that should be known as Andersnatch) were hit hard by nasty tornado-like winds, […]

Hey, does anyone else think Twiki’s head looked like the head of a penis? I have memories from the bathtub at 8yrs old, “BEE-DEE, BEE-DEE, BEE-DEE, BEEP!” Ha!
Did you know Mel Blanc did his voice?
Ooh Twiki! bee-dee-bee-dee indeed!
Marc-

Great show today guys, it’s always great to hear John on a show… he sounds so insightful it just makes me happy!
Out of curiosity about how long do I have to wait to get my shirt?
Phew! Glad you guys survived the storms last night. We spent the evening enjoying our power outage with a couple glasses of whiskey and a spectacular lightning show. What crazy weather. I was wondering whether the Rock for Kids would still be happening… Our neighbor stayed at work till 8, and said that all of his clients DID show up for their hair appointments, even though they were delayed by downed trees and roofs flying off into the road. At least people have their priorities straight. 😉
okay… looking forward to today’s show, because two of the tags are “gay computer voices” and John Q Sanchez! These are a few of my favorite things…
p.s. What does the Q stand for? I’ve always been curious…
– reference to John Q Public?
– lgbtQ
– in chess, it stands for Queen
– q.s., in a doctor’s prescription, is short for “quantum sufficit”: as much as is necessary
– quadrille
– quality
– quarter-turns!!!
OMG, Rick, I never noticed that about Tweaky’s head. LOL! Didn’t his voice change around the time when Erin Gray’s hair went from brunette to blonde. He used to just make the be-de-be-de sounds with that talking hockey puck around his neck translating for him, like a squished C3PO. Then he changed at actually got a voice.
“I’m a no dung kind of fuck”
Marc, you kill me!!! And I think you’d make a darling puppy. I’d sniff yer butt anyday. 😉
Okay, I should save my comments until after I finish a show but i have to add one more thing… I’m eating a bacon and egg wrap at the exact moment you’re talking about the Bacon and Scat podcast. Thanks guys!
I’m gonna go get a Pop Tart. 😛
LOL! That’s awesome.
Don’t you mean a poop tart?
I would like good health care, but the problem is the governments rationing the health care. Because there is no such thing as a free lunch. Two or three months for a critical surgery or procedure? We need a good public and private medical system.
Your health insurance company may say you may not be worth it and will not pay for your expensive surgeries, but government bureaucrats may do the same.
Oof… “If you think health care is expensive now, wait until it’s free.” O’Rourke
Completely agree. Just look at what will happen to Social Security by 2012 and then decide if you want politicians to handle this problem.
I loved the song that opened up your show today!
…and Brooklyn Bath Houses: http://www.insiderpages.com/s/NY/Brooklyn/BathHouse Have fun 😉

Its nice when you have private health care- No one is disputing this. What we want is Public Health Care- good or bad. We can improve on a bad system but w e can’t improve if there is no system at all. Let’s start with a pile of shit health care and then work out the bumps.
Yes, like the UK and Australia they have private and public medical facilities. I am somewhat receptive towards a government ran health system because I have heard some horror stories like someone has cancer, then the private health insurance plan kicks them off. Then after 2 years the cancer comes back and they die because the private health insurance plan kicked them off.
Yes, I agree we all need health care. Without health care we are nothing.
In California they are proposing some stop gap measures like preventing private health insurance providers from canceling your policy just because you used your benefits. Its just rude how you pay your premiums then the insurance provider sticks it to you.
That’s why I love Canada… we have universal health care
Glad that you guys are OK. Some crazy weather out there these days.
The thing that amazes me is some Americans I know whinge and complain about the taxes in Europe, whilst at the same time making the most of the usually free healthcare.
I now live in Sweden – not famous for low taxes! My total tax bill is around 33%, but that covers my national and local taxes for services, property taxes, but also pays for all my healthcare, and my pension. To be honest, it’s quite a good deal!
If you get sick, and need lots of treatment, you can continue to have treatment as long as you need it, or until you drop off your perch. If you need lots of drugs, you pay a fixed charge for the prescription, regardless of how expensive the drug is. If you have lots of prescriptions, that’s ok too, because there is a maximum you have to pay in a year. Once you hit that, your drugs are free.
The US has to decide whether they think a few % on the tax bill is worth it. Most in Europe would say yes.
33% taxes – hell isn’t that about what we pay in US anyway – and then actually getting something back from it instead of it all going to finance “defense”. Sounds like a good deal to me.
I hate when I hear Americans use the specter of long lines and delays as a reason to avoid a national health care system. I was just switched over to an HMO (no choices offered at my new job) and I’ve had long waits, had to travel to completely inconvenient locations to even do something simple like fill a prescription, and had to literally tell them what do do for me lest they just do the minimum. A simple STD screening with these money saving bureaucrats became a complete debacle.
GIve me natinalized health care any day. Tax away baby – I’ll happily pay it if I get back in the form of stable health care and a solid realiable pension.
