Braindead Robot Praises Hillary

From CNN.com:

"First Lady Laura Bush said Monday that as a veteran of the rigors of the campaign trail herself, she "admired Hillary's grit and strength."

"I know what it’s like to run those campaigns, to be the candidate and how very difficult it is both emotionally and physically,” Bush told ABC News. “It's a huge endurance, process of endurance, and so I'll have to say I have a lot of admiration for her endurance and strength."

"I know it's hard," Mrs. Bush said, "It's hard to do that and I think she did great."

She sure knows a lot about endurance and hardness right? But it is nice that even this big dumb fucking idiot (literally, assuming she's still fucking W. from time to time) is realizing how great, historic actually, Hillary's run was. Both Hillary and Obama blew an enormous hole in the hubris of old white men everywhere (Grandpa McCain take note!) and hopefully the history will continue in November.

There are a lot of news stories circulating about Hillary's supporters and where they will go. I certainly would never go for Grandpa McCain, but I'm not super happy and all aboard the Obama Train yet. (That was so not a reference to Soul Train, I swear). But hopefully soon, we can all come together to make America slightly less of a soulless shit hole!

Hillary- from The Onion

Laughter will heal the pain maybe.

Let the Healing Begin/Anderson Cooper

As we try to mend the fences that weren't torn down so much as exploded over the past six months of Democratic primaries, we have to look for ways we can begin to come together to defeat Grandpa McCain and his evil backwoods possum ways this November.

One way is laughter- a very healing thing. This short clip from Anderson Cooper is kinda funny, him talking to this CNN commentator about being her boo. As someone whose seen Anderson on the street in Chelsea more than once, I can say I've wondered what it would be like to be his boo.

**Editor's Note: I really wanted to work in a Simpsons reference about some people booing and some people saying "boo-urns" but I couldn't figure out how to do it. I apologize.**

No Matter What

it's time for a Cliff and Kendall cartoon!

NOOOOOOO! to Grandpa McCain!

As this idiotic battle between Democratic presidential nominees rages on, supporters on both sides are becoming increasingly bitter towards the rival nominee (according to this news story.)

But during these frustrating times, let us not forget who the enemy is: GRANDPA MCCAIN! This sleepy septuagenarian wants us to "stay the course" in Iraq, apparently until the end of time. While he may have once been called a "maverick Republican," let us not forget that a "maverick Republican" is still a Republican. That means: guns in our children's cold dead hands, schools left drastically underfunded while every child (that survives the guns) is left far behind, gays will probably be rounded up and put into internment camps (or in front of firing squads), and a sea of unwanted babies that we must all wade through on the way to work every morning- infants without parents grasping at the cuffs of our pants- unwanted and unloved- growing up to become a terrorist or another Republican.

I feel these bitter feeling too, but this must not happen! Just say NOOOOOO to GRANDPA MCCAIN! And say YES to uniting this quickly splintering party- however that has to happen- let it happen PLEASE!

Media Minute (Blog version)

Joining the ranks of some of our southern cousins, John Edwards and Rudy G. have dropped out of the race for the white house. We know that you are probably waiting to decide who to vote for until you hear whom Cliff and Kendall have thrown their (considerable) weight behind. But, have no fear our official podcaster endorsement will be forthcoming.

Montel Williams is ceasing production at the end of this season!! This is leaving a gaping hole in the programming of many local affiliates. Sure, they could find some other fame-hungry judge to fill the timeslot, but we have another idea.

Oh wait, maybe Marie Osmond will take his place. She's apparently getting her own talk show next season. Was no one else paying attention in the late 90's? She and Donnie had a show for about two years after Rosie became popular and everyone without something to do got their own show. We did enjoy the headline for the AOL story though: 'Dancing' Loser Gets a Talk Show'. No Mormon propaganda!

Remember when Kendall broke the WEIRD story of the pot vending machines? Well, it's true!! Hopefully they'll be next to regular vending machines. For convenience.

They're getting rid of those awful Wendy's commercials with weirdos in red wigs. Yay!! Now can they please bring Dave Thomas back from the dead? They did it with Fred Astaire. Or they could just air this:



That'll get rid of the January blahhhs.

Tell Me Lies

Believe it when we tell you that a brand new episode of Cliff and Kendall: Coast to Coast is on the way!

This week we're talking all about lies. Why do we lie? How do we lie? How can you tell if someone else is lying? (Listen for Kendall's super informational explanation of how to be your own personal lie detector- and then if that gameshow "To Tell the Truth" is revived you can clean up!! Just remember your old podcasting friends when you're looking to unload some of those winnings!)

Cliff regales the world with the tale of the first lie he ever told. Kendall tries to pull one over on our listeners and even MORE.

Also, we debut the new segment "Cliff and Kendall's History Lesson" and we again venture into the fan favorite world of "Weird News!!" (You won't believe some of the strange stuff Kendall's dug up this week! Outrageous!!)

So come along, as your old buddies explore the world of bending the truth. And there isn't one mention of "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" or "Iraq is overflowing with weapons of mass destruction." Can you believe it? We forgot to get political!! You'll just have to wait for our Fourth of July Fireworks show.
