Yeah, I listened again so you don't have to. Luckily, Lionel provides such a target-rich environment that these posts pretty much write themselves. What we learned on today's Lionel Show:- Today's show has organically melded synergetic completion.
- In New Jersey, they call mentally ill people "idiots".
- Lionel doesn't know what the Socratic Method is.
- Some dude having something to do with Anna Nicole Smith did something.
- Lionel thinks "defragmenting" is a synonym for "fragmenting".
- Rock Legend, John Kay of Steppenwolf will be on in "Module 3".
- "Born to be Wild" is an "anthem".
- Lionel is still unclear on the blog vs thread thing.
- Lionel's Word of the Day Toilet Paper had "adumbration" on top today.
- Lionel doesn't like it when other people make lame jokes on his show.
- Lionel knows many words beginning with "con", though he can't use any of them properly in a sentence.
- Blogging is devoid of human contact and is about as valid as mumbling.
- Using two or three big words when one simple word will do is not at all boring or annoying. On the contrary, it shows how erudite, how sagacious, how, dare I say, au courant the host is.
- Voting based on hair quality is stupid.
- Voting rights for the mentally ill is a very important issue, but not so important that a radio host should do anything more than the most cursory research on it.
- If you miss a second of Lionel's show, you miss "a lot".
- "Acquitted" and "not guilty" are synonyms.
- Bipolar disorder is a chemical brain imbalance.
- Some Jews in Florida voted for Pat Buchanan in this one election once.
- The third hour of the show will contain a "melange of stuff".
- People with low IQs are nice.
- The answer to the question of mentally ill voting rights is simple, which is why we spent over an hour talking about it.
- The 8th amendment prohibits cruel and unusual punishment.
- Antonin Scalia went to some conference in Canada and said something, maybe about torture.
- When Lionel advocated torture 18 years ago, he was kidding.
- Lionel thinks humans have cloacas.
- Lionel makes jokes sound lame even when he steals them from other AAR hosts.
- Torture is not effective.
- Lionel has attended at least one performance of Les Miserables at some point.
- Lionel is still confused about blog and thread. Now he also throws "post" and/or "poll" into the mix. But it does give him a chance to incorrectly use the word "adhesion".
- When talking about critical testimony before the Senate, it's important to demonstrate that you can correctly and pedantically pronounce Italian names like "Rizzo" -- much more important than noticing that John Rizzo's questioner was actually Senator Carl Levin and not Ron Wyden.
- "Whether or not" is redundant. However, repeating three different multi-syllabic terms for the same concept is not.
- Situations where you're forced to kill one of your parents never happen, but Lionel loves those questions.
- Lionel read an article on J. Edgar Hoover once.
- It is apparently "'tard" day on the Lionel show.
- We should just get Muslims drunk instead of torturing them. Or -- even better -- give them cocaine.
- Muslim guys are named Ahmed and wear either a towel or a burnoose or whatever. They are, however, quite amusing when intoxicated.
- Lionel thinks men have pudenda.
- Michael Bloomberg has withdrawn from the Republican party. The key point about this is that there's a picture going around the internet where Arnold Schwarzenegger is wearing a strange belt buckle. (yeah, he really said that)
- Lionel adds an "air of respectability" to the network.
- Dale Watson is the last hope to maintain the integrity of country music.
- Dale Watson wrote a song about Lionel. I think it's an "anthem".
- Chris Matthews said a bad word yesterday.
- It was pretty cool that Chris Matthews got heckled when he pressed Hillary Clinton for an answer on the Libby pardon.
- Rudy Giuliani's "big guy" in South Carolina was indicted for selling crack cocaine and, by the way, Bernie Kerrick had a meltdown and then the Pope sent out some driving guidelines.
- Mentioning these facts in a shallow, rambling stream-of-consciousness narrative makes Lionel's show worth paying for.
- There are several "Judge Shows" on T.V.
- This has something to do with the Anna Nicole Smith dude doing something.
- Whatever the Anna Nicole Smith dude did, it merited about three times as much airtime as John Rizzo's testimony on secret CIA renditions for torture.
- Rock Legend, John Kay of Steppenwolf couldn't be bothered to call in on time because he was watching cruise ships dock.
- But "Born to be Wild" is still an "anthem".
- Lionel likes to make jokes about slapping female interviewers. Rock Legend, John Kay of Steppenwolf didn't laugh.
- Did we mention that "Born to be Wild" is an "anthem"?
- Booking Rock Legend, John Kay of Steppenwolf on the show is enough of a coup. There's really no need to study his bio or even prepare questions ahead of time.
- "Born to be Wild"? Anthem.
What we didn't learn on today's Lionel Show- The name, position or even a single statement of any legislator or interested party associated with the mentally ill right-to-vote issue.
- What was actually in that article Lionel read on J. Edgar Hoover.
- That track 7 on Dale "Integrity of Country Music" Watson's 2006 album Whisky or God is "Truckin Queen", a violently homophobic song about a male transvestite trucker.
- The history, context or even more than 3 bars of the song "Born to be Wild". (anthem)
