#26 - Left-Handed Compliments

Sometimes, you need a helping hand...and right on cue, the Secret Frequency provides one!  In this episode, our heroes move from the France-Ireland World Cup Qualifier result to French President Nicolas Sarkozy, his Berlin Wall appearance, and his setback as the European Green Party takes as many French seats in the European Parliament as the Socialists!  Meanwhile at home, the FBI office in Atlanta thinks the Green Party (of the U.S., mind you) has a nuke!  Gawker.com has the story and the memo!

Also...you thought "Faux News" was just a funny misspelling?  Nope, they're proven liars at this point - twice in a row...the first caught by The Daily Show, the second by ThinkProgress - both times to puff up crowds that major arch-conservatives were attempting to collect!  Steve and Lise debate: if you have "news" in the title, does that mean you have to...I dunno, broadcast actual news?  (UPDATE: John Amato of Crooks and Liars files a complaint with the FCC against Fox for broadcasting a hoax!)

In other news:

The BYU-New Mexico women's soccer match (video link from Total Pro Sports)
The Maryland "Green" Caucus (.pdf from Maryland Natural Resources Magazine...oddly, the caucus itself doesn't even have a Web presence!) 
Steve gets it right: The Astronauts were also from Colorado!

Music for this episode comes from some far-flung sources: Denver's Get Three Coffins Ready and Sweden's Roger and the Rockets!  Hit those links and buy their CDs!
