 HD036 - Dove is Out-Doved by an Uber-Liberal [12:45m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

This week, Brick Hawke and Attacus Dove welcome Humanists United in Gathering President Leslie Olbermeyer, considered to be an ideological ally of Professor Dove’s.

Considering recent episodes of the Hawke and Dove Political Punditry Podcast have featured such noted conservative stars as Senator Larry Craig, The Reverend Dwight Doyle, and last week’s interview with GOP revolutionary Ron Paul, we present humanist Olbermeyer in order to retain our fair and balanced reputation.

As is typical in the mainstream media, this discussion between two self-avowed liberals will be led by ultra-conservative Brick Hawke. The free-ranging conversation touches on the following issues:

• The Economy
• Letting it all Hang Out
• Living as one
• Raising Pigs in the Wild
• The Definition of “Needy”
• The Definition of “Being
• Education
• Man-Child Interaction
• Reverse Learning
• Race Relations in America
• Affirmative Action
• The Love Race
• The Melting Pot
• The War in Iraq
• Talking with the Dead
• Touching the Dead
• The Noble Pursuit of Punditry
• Abortion
• The role of Shamans in Marital Relations
• The Love Tap
• The State of Bricke Hawke’s Chakras

 HD035 - Interview with GOP Wunderkind Ron Paul [12:38m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Congressman Ron Paul has proven to be a sensation during this Presidential Primary Season. As an outspoken OBGYN running for President with a populist, libertarian stance on everything from foreign entanglements (Iraq) to domestic issues like social security, his grassroots, internet-driven campaign is reminiscent of Howard Dean’s candidacy in 2004, although on the Republican side.

Despite the Main Stream Media Corporations’ attempts to ignore the Ron Paul candidacy, he has gone on to raise more money via the internet than more mainstream, moderate candidates like John McCain. Obviously, Congressman Paul has hit a chord. In a free-flowing discussion with Brick Hawke and Myron Bunkerling, Representative Paul discusses his position on such issues as:

• Repealing Federal Drug Laws
• The Gold Standard
• Austrian Economics
• Sound Economic Policy
• Triscuits
• Second Life
• The innate, individual, economic sense of felines
• No Child Left Behind
• No Presidential Candidate on the Left
• Home Schooling
• The skills needed in a free-market, ungoverned society
• The White Supremacist Movements’ Support of Ron Paul
• Cats are Libertarian
• The Iraq War
• The Republic of Amarillo
• Pulling Out
• Rudy Giuliani
• Anti-Abortion
• Pro-Life
• States Rights and the Killing of Little Babies
• Obstetrics and Gynecology

The people of Pakistan face constant turmoil as radical Islamists, militants and moderates battle for the soul of the country. At the center of this storm is President Pervez Musharraf.

Our own Attacus Dove sits down with the Pakistani President and tries to get him to answer for what many see as abuse of power.

Topics covered include:
- Pakistan and U.S. relations
