Ding Dong Bin Laden’s Dead! Due to the astounding news of Osama bin Laden’s capture and death, I decided to record a special mid-week segment to provide a comprehensive, informative and entertaining discussion, with guest host Patrick, about the death of bin Laden, the operation that nabbed him, historical context, the politics, ideology and conspiracies surrounding the event. This 3-hour discussion will likely be one of the more all-encompassing segments that you will hear on the subject matter,

Bye Bye Birther (aka: Donald the Douchebag)

2011/04/30

This week we have a LOT to cover, as ‘Stimulated Boredom’ is joined again by perennial listener favorite, Patrick! Some big news to kick off the show, as we discuss the recent release of President Obama’s long-form birth certificate and whether this will finally appease and silence the ridiculous “birther” movement. Should Obama have released it? What effect might this have on the political discourse, emerging 2012 GOP candidates and the election landscape? And of course, no “birther” discussion

Last week I provided you guys with the first ever episode of a new hosted music magazine podcast that I helped my friend Jon create entitled, “Listen Hear…Thank Me Later.” As I mentioned previously, I am producing the initial episodes of Jon’s program, along with temporarily guest hosting, and wanted to send out a BIG THANK YOU to all of the ‘Stimulated Boredom’ listeners who were so welcoming of the segment! Therefore, this week I bring you the SECOND episode of Jon’s show, as I would like to

Budget on a Stick

2011/04/16

Returned and refreshed from my travels, I focus this week’s discussion on some of the major news of the past 2 weeks, primarily the budget battle that almost led to a government shutdown and was averted (literally) in the final hours. How similar / different was this battle from the shutdown that occurred in 1995? I also focus on the gross mischaracterization (as framed by the GOP) of Planned Parenthood and the preventative health services that they provide, and my issue with trying to force

Fresh off his recent trip to SXSW, we are joined by guest host Patrick, as we wax poetic on all things geek (woot!). This segment revolves around some of the newest trends and innovations in interactive design, social media, gaming and technology. Patrick also recounts his meeting with Felicia Day (“The Guild”), the power of taking fancy notes and what the future holds for how we interact with companies, websites and entertainment. We also discuss some of the announcements from CTIA and the

Great Scott! Obama Has a Time Machine!

2011/04/03

In the second segment of this week's show we turn our attention to the week in news. Libya: Is the U.S. engaging in third conflict in the Middle East? Did Obama require Congressional approval before launching Cruise missiles into the country? What is the "mission", end-game and role of the U.S. and NATO allies in enforcing the no-fly zone? Is it possible to support the fall of Gaddafi, yet not have to commit long-term to the potential aftermath of a country without leadership and/or prolonged

2011/03/19

This week's main segment centers entirely on the tragic events in Japan. From a horrifying 9.0 earthquake, followed by a devastating tsunami, tremendous loss of life and now the desperate scramble to bring a potential nuclear disaster under control. The story of the tsunami has unfortunately been overshadowed by the ongoing efforts to contain the failing nuclear reactors and spent fuel rods in storage at the Fukashima Daiichi plant. In my efforts to help to bring some understanding to what is

In the second segment of this week's show...well, quite frankly, I'm all over the place...as I discuss some of the most recent news that occurred / caught my attention since the last new show, trying to squeeze my opinion of all of it into one segment! I start with recent comments made by Mike Huckabee, as a result of his 'not so subtle' tip of the hat to the Tea Party crowd and perhaps the beginning of some preliminary 2012 election rhetoric. As a result, I dissect his remarks, their intent (in

State of the Unions

2011/02/26

Amidst the protests in Wisconsin between Governor Walker and teacher's unions over collective bargaining rights (including salary & benefits) and the state budget deficit, I try to shed some light on the situtation, while dissecting the political ramifications of removing a union's primary form of leverage. Are unions a good thing? What would 'breaking the backs' of organized labor mean for unions and future election math? Would stripping the unions of their bargaining rights really solve the budget

Joined by guest host Patrick, I think we were able to solve all the world's problems (and then some) in this 3 hour segment that drifts seamlessly between serious and silly (rinse and repeat)! We start off with a follow up to the events in Egypt, Mubarack stepping down, the military taking over and the suspension of their constitution. We weight the effects of democracy in the middle east, in addition to similar protests popping up in Iran & Bahrain. Next, we cover the CPAC convention and whether

This week I am joined by guest host, Patrick. In the main segment of the show, we discuss the current situation in Egypt. As protests erupt over the authoritarian rule of President Mubarak, we cover the reasons for the uprising, U.S. response and provide some historical context relating to Egypt's place in the region as our ally and how the protests began. We also attempt to tackle the issue of Democracy as a principle versus practice, in addition to the U.S. governments history of propping up

Time to change gears a little! In the second segment, we offer our impressions and review of the eagerly anticipated DC Universe Online. This discussion covers the gambit as it relates to MMORPG's; from the perspective of a 'noob' (Dana) to a more seasoned veteran of the genre (Patrick). Was the game worth the 8 year wait? Was SOE able to pull off the thrill of fighting alongside the likes of Superman, Batman, Lex Luthor & The Joker? What the hell is an MMO, anyway? Additional discussions include

Blowing The Electoral Load...

2011/01/22

Prompted by a listener request, I offer my predictions and analysis of what the 2012 presidential election landscape may look like. Can Obama win a second term? Will the GOP's allegiance with the Tea Party come back to bite them in the ass? What issues will take center stage? Just a little armchair political analysis to consider. ;) I also discuss the "fallout" from the Ricky Gervais' hosting appearance at the Golden Globes and whether it is possible for comedy to go, "too far."

The Rhetoric of Violence

2011/01/15

This week's main segment focuses on the tragic shooting in Arizona that left 6 dead and over a dozen injured, including Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. Is it dangerous (and irresponsible) to engage in the rhetoric of violence when referring to those you disagree with politically? Are terms like, "2nd Amendment remedies", "armed and dangerous", "revolution", "reload" and "take up arms" intended to incite / promote fear and distrust in Government to a particular demographic for political

Don't TSA Me, Bro!

2010/11/20

Recently there has been a lot of discussion of the new TSA body scanners & pat-down security checks at airports and whether they are a violation of privacy. I recently encountered these new measures on a trip to Chicago. I discuss the reactionary nature of our airport security and how we always seem to be behind the curve. Additionally I discuss a few measures that I feel would be more effective than continually adjusting our security based upon PAST threats and trying to anticipate FUTURE

Sorry folks, a little discombobulated this week as I attempted to record the show while medicated and recovering from recent travel and being sick. However, like a doped up soldier, I still managed to trudge through a couple of hours discussing my time at, "The Rally to Restore Sanity" and the results of the Midterm Election for your entertainment. This week I am joined by a fuzzy brain, unicorns and a pink llama...but that might be the meds talking. www.stimulatedboredom.com

Prompted by current events (aka: the Delaware debates), this segment delves into the Separation of Church & State clause within the 1st Amendment...and Christine O'Donnell's lack of knowledge about either. I also discuss NPR's firing of Juan Williams for his recent comments and whether it was a 1st Amendment issue (as claimed) or the right thing for NPR to do. Plus the teaching of Creationism Vs Evolution in public schools and more! www.stimulatedboredom.com
