Paunch on The Overnightscape Underground

We’re in syndication!

That’s right, the Paunch Stevenson Show is now part of The Overnightscape Underground! Frank Nora invited us to join his network of podcasts several months ago and we’re very excited that our episodes are being reposted there. Frank, thank you for including us. PQ Ribber, thank you for doing us the huge favor of posting our episodes on onsug.com.

What does this mean? When we post a new episode here on paunchstevenson.com, it’ll also be posted on The Overnightscape Underground. That’s more exposure for us, which should result in more listeners, comments, and interaction.

That’s also more exposure for The Overnightscape Underground here on our site. Go and listen to some of the other podcasts being posted (and reposted) there. They make commutes, workdays, and chores more pleasant.

Politicians

The Paunch Stevenson Show Lame Idiot of The Year Award

Normally one big time dimwit gets to win The Paunch Stevenson Show Lame Idiot of the Year Award. Well in 2010, one award was not enough for the cesspool of loserdom otherwise known as American politics. It was a banner year.

1) The “Tea Party” were in full force on the prime issues of the day, first and foremost, that President Obama did not have a birth certificate. Throughout the year, spillover from 2009 in fact, was the battle over Healthcare. Well, the lack of affordable healthcare. As the right wing screamed and yelled about socialism, working people continued to get the shaft. Get sick, don’t look at us, it’s your problem.

2) Those lovelies were egged on by the grand phony himself Glenn Beck of Fox News.

3) Let’s not forget the lack of climate change reform, which has led to a miserable winter where snow is everywhere. More importantly, who can forget the decades of political favors paid to the oil industry. They returned the favor by causing the worst oil spill in US history. BP Chairman Tony Hayward reacted by complaining about not being able to get back to his yachting.

4) And lastly, our wonderful home state of New Jersey has a new Governor, Chris Christie, who fought with everybody. That’s not what annoys us. He canceled a project that was long underway to add rail access, via a new tunnel from NJ to NYC. If there’s one thing we absolutely abhor, it’s our commute to and from work, whether on the roads or on the trains. Any project that lessens the congestion is a wonderful thing. Unfortunately, the governor didn’t think so.
