This week, since so many strange things happened, we jump right
in feet first and wade through all the disgusting Santorum. After that,
we talk about signing paperwork and not reading it, home schooling,
incorrect trailers on kid's movies, kinky nuns and proper grammar, and
why people think it's o.k. to "show some hate" to atheists. Chris then
details a conversation he had on Facebook that was the last straw for
him.

We have a ton of feedback that basically attacks Frank for his callous and uncaring view on the lives of captive animals. (I believe it's all to get a reaction out of our listeners, so don't fall for it!)

A girl in the Middle East was jailed because SHE was raped, and the conditions for her release are abhorrent. A 5 year old boy is going to be tried for sexual misconduct for playing Doctor with a 6 year old girl. And, to wrap things up, apparently, atheists are as reviled as rapists.
