Since Dick Cheney has effectively muzzled the entire government and fourth estate, there is nothing to talk about except ourselves.

Their propensity for verbosity unbound, Myron Bunkerling gets our pedantic pundits to open up about themselves in this, part one of the history of Hawke and Dove. Everything you ever wanted to know about Bricke Hawke and Attacus Delphinius Dove but were rightly afraid to ask. How did these two commentators get comfortable with the idea of airing their considerable disagreements on the tubes of the National Public Internets? Who came up with the wildly original idea of pairing two disagreeable curmudgeons on opposite sides of the political spectrum? These are just a few of the questions that will remain unanswered.

For a brief overview of our commentators’ personal histories, in order to whet your appetite for this podcast episode, be sure to check out our information page.

HD010 - Insurance Reform (Boring Topic Day)

The day-late post this week is a result of the producers trying to find something else to put up, and failing at this effort. Hawke and Dove had a mini-rebellion in studio over the weekend, and failed to address the previously-agreed upon topic of insurance reform. Also, neither took responsiblity for agreeing to the topic in the first place. We’d like to fire someone over this episode, but can’t seem to be able to release these gentlemen from their contracts, an unfortunate clause that our lawyers overlooked in the first place.

So, if you’re as bored by the topic of Insurance Reform as Mr. Hawke and Mr. Dove, you should definitely enjoy this episode. In fact, you’ll enjoy it even more if you’re a fan of science fiction, as this seems to be the topic preferred by our esteemed panel.

Hopefully the salary reduction we’ve instituted (our own contract clause!) will help Hawke and Dove get back on track next week.

Thank you for your patience and consideration.

President George W. Bush’s poll numbers are at an all time low. As the media decides Bush is approaching lame duck status, what will his legacy be? Should he be burnished on Mount Rushmore or burned at the stake?
