This week we're doing something a little different, as Cooter and I do the show sans Lando. We cover quite a bit of ground, starting with Ron Paul getting mighty uncomfortable with Sasha Cohen and whether ignorance is ever understandable. From there we move into some more scientific realms, starting with Cooter's ideas on clean fuel before moving into the potentially huge Wolfram Alpha project. After that, we talk another innovation that has some fantastic promise: Glasshouse. All this talk about the future and amazing technology on the horizon naturally leads to some musing on the stunning things we have with us right now. Flying cars, the commonality of touch screens, toy brain scanners...the future is now baby! Enjoy!

Normally I don't like to get into these stupid cross-blogging snipefests, but normally Gizmodo is a pretty decent blog.

Normally. Then there's this post.

Know what? Suck my dick, Matt Buchanan. I can't use chopsticks, but I do like teriyaki on my rice. Sorry if that makes me 'lousy,' but fortunately we don't have to eat according to your standards.

These fuckin' guys.

Listen, I know we say some harsh shit on our shows, but I think we always temper things with some open-mindedness (possibly not a real word) so it's not the same as this shit. And that's what it is: SHIT.

That's my rant for today.

This week, we open with a wide range of subjects, from lip plumper to the PS3 to HD porn. From there I show Lando a weapon in Fallout 3 he goes all lovey over, and we each talk a bit about how we're playing that game and what we think of it . After that, we move into the power of manufactured myth on American culture. From flight jackets to nationalism, we turn our eyes on the lies we tell ourselves as individuals and nations. Also, Volkswagen Toe Rags and Space Foxes. Enjoy!

This week, we open with the discussion and dissection of a lurching hunk of worthless cinema called Drawing Restraint 9. After we tear that apart, we talk a bit about false advertising and then move into the divergent approaches to fixing the economic meltdown that are fighting for dominance. Finally, we talk about one of the great strange items of interest in the homeland: the ever burning town of Centralia, Pennsylvania. Some things you just can't make up. Enjoy!
