The
Dude on the Right is flying solo for this podcast mostly because he didn’t
want to invite The W.G.N. to be a guest podcaster, thereby delaying The W.G.N.’s
getting out of Dodge, or at least Houston. The Dude realizes he missed his
opportunity for "I Hate Ike" buttons and bumper stickers, but is happy that he
only got shot in a dream, by a dude who looked like Chunk from the movie "The
Goonies."
The Dude also does some reflecting on the anniversary or September 11th,
remembering that he was actually at the top of The World Trade Center in 1985,
and is kind of sad that Presidential politics has come to sound bites about a
"lipstick on a pig" comment that has been around for years, rather than the
actual issues we really care about. The Dude isn’t perfect by not joining
in with the stupidness of it all, but hey, he’s only a dude.
