\nRussia’s President Vladimir Putin relaxes by wetting a line<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

It’s our first show from the new Indiana bunker! We’ve been storing blather for the last couple of weeks, so prepare for a whirlwind tour of global crypto-politics:<\/p>\n

We talked about the American presidential race and wondered whether a true Christian — or even a man who just refuses to answer to other men — can make it as far in the presidential campaign as Mike Huckabee has done. We also discussed Huckabee’s response to questions about what he asked a New York Times<\/em> reporter about what Mormons believe about the nature of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

The crash of an executive jet tied to the CIA in Mexico caught our attention, although it seems to have escaped the notice of the major media here in the U.S. Maybe that’s because the last reporter for a major newspaper to write extensively about the CIA’s involvement in running drugs committed suicide by shooting himself in the head.<\/p>\n

Twice.<\/p>\n

We spent a good deal of time on Vladimir Putin and his political machinations in Russia. If it seems that he’s developed a cult-like following there — well, there’s a good reason for that.<\/p>\n
