The Delivery Presents – What Happens When I Run Out of Pre-Show Prep? Posted: 05 Dec 2012 06:19 PM PST The first half of Episode 190 is all about coal and why the Obama administration seems intent on destroying rural Appalachia to appease the crazed environmental left. Debra McCown, a reporter from southerwestern Virginia, joined me to talk about the town of Grundy, VA and its fight to use its own resources to revive its economy. In another time, Grundy would be a success story, an exemplar of how a town can pull itself up without vast government welfare programs. Instead, it’s had to battle to build success. As you can see, I ran out of show in the second half, so I threw caution fully to the winds and just winged it like the Devil was at my heels. So, expect a mishmash of good things, mashed into a pleasant mish (what else do you make when you mishmash?) and the faintest whiff of “Oh, I surely hope I don’t run out of stuff in my own head before SMPMike calls time”! It’s podcasting! The Delivery - Episode 170

The Delivery Presents – Will Our Children Forgive Us? Posted: 05 Dec 2012 05:52 PM PST Episode 169 was one of those shouty affairs that happen once in a while. I had come across this article about how a doctor dopes children with anti-psychotics and ADHD drugs so their lazy parents and half-baked teachers won’t have to expend more than the minimal amount of effort to raise them and, well, it didn’t take me long to get fired up. Kids are kids, not tiny adults, and any adult who thinks otherwise needs to get their own head right. I stayed on the theme of children ill-served by their adult guardians with this story from Florida about how the state school authorities think bringing back a form of academic Jim Crow law would be a fine idea indeed. I honestly don’t think what children these days will think of their parents, teachers, and elected officials but I can’t imagine they’ll be eager to forgive the horrible, selfish things done to them. I closed up with some good baseball stories and affirmed my admiration for a guy I didn’t like all that much when he first came to my town. The Delivery - Episode 169
