Listener comments!
	3:02pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): War Is(n't) Over
	3:14pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): (if you still want it)
	3:19pm Santos L. Halper: What is this lovely loop that W is sullying?
	3:20pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Explosions in the Sky
	3:20pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Your Hand In Mine, I think
	3:21pm Santos L. Halper: Ah, thanks, that makes sense (in more ways than one)
	3:26pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): A tradition of pro-war torch-passing continues unabated
	3:34pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): There you go, a full list of all the things.
	3:36pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Huh, this song was only a month old during this broadcast
	3:38pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Gerson joined the Bush campaign before 2000 as a speechwriter and went on to head the White House speechwriting team. "No one doubts that he did his job exceptionally well," wrote Ramesh Ponnuru in a 2007 article otherwise very critical of Gerson in National Review. According to Ponnuru, Bush's speechwriters had more prominence in the administration than their predecessors did under previous presidents because Bush's speeches did most of the work of defending the president's policies, since administration spokesmen and press conferences did not. On the other hand, he wrote, the speeches would announce new policies that were never implemented, making the speechwriting in some ways less influential than ever.
	3:39pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): My most vivid memory of Mike at Starbucks is one I have labored in vain to shake. We were working on a State of the Union address in John's (McConnell's) office when suddenly Mike was called away for an unspecified appointment, leaving us to 'keep going.' We learned only later, from a chance conversation with his secretary, where he had gone, and it was a piece of Washington self-promotion for the ages: At the precise moment when the State of the Union address was being drafted at the White House by John and me, Mike was off pretending to craft the State of the Union in longhand for the benefit of a reporter.
	3:40pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Gerson proposed the use of a "smoking gun/mushroom cloud" mixed-metaphor during a September 5, 2002 meeting of the White House Iraq Group, in an effort to sell the American public on the nuclear dangers posed by Saddam Hussein.
	3:42pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): “Gerson wanted to use the theological language that Bush had made his own since Sept. 11,” Frum writes, “so ‘axis of hatred’ became ‘axis of evil.’ ” Bush had nothing to do with it. Frum does allow, however, that once Bush “uttered it, ‘axis of evil’ ceased to be a speechwriter’s phrase and became his own.”
	3:53pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Coming to the end of Beautiful Terror...Children's Television Voteshop (Behavior Modification) up next.
	3:57pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Oh, I never got to thank Isabelle in Quebec, and Monica in Germany. Thanks!
	3:58pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): And Chresti, of course. And you too, Santos!
	4:04pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Hmm, to dig up the source listing for this one...
	4:10pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I wonder if this is the version that ends right here...
	4:12pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Ooh I haven't heard these parts in a long time
	4:13pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): The Disney/ABC propagandists reunited in 2001 just to make this delightful cartoon celebrating the existence of the electoral college that prevents citizens from having the final choice in presidential elections. "The electoral college will have the final voice."
	4:16pm Constance De Witt: Yes, that's right!
	4:16pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Welcome back to the new old new old world, Constance!
	4:18pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): OK, maybe it'll end right here...
	4:18pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Wow, more parts of Children Television Voteshop we never hear anymore...
	4:19pm Constance De Witt: Humans are not really important after all, Kenzo. We will need to accept that fact, soon.
	4:19pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): 'struth
	4:28pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): OMG, looking at the playlist from the full version of The Wizard of War (edit playing today), I played a Mary Poppins track by Sherman & Sherman called Fidelity Fiduciary Bank. Is that real?
	4:33pm Martinibomb: Hi Kenzo!
	4:33pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Welcome to the same ol' world as always, Martinibomb
	4:34pm Martinibomb: Well it's a nice world to visit
	4:35pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Yeah, you can be nice in it
	4:36pm Martinibomb: I'll try to behave
	4:39pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): If not, they'll behave you.
	4:42pm Constance De Witt: Love and anarchy for all!
	4:43pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I remember this one. The man kicked, and then I found 79 speeches in a hurry and ran in to do this one live. I'm looking at the files now...many are RealAudio.
	4:46pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): <3 @CDW
	4:51pm Constance De Witt: Freedom for South Americans... ha ha.
	4:52pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): The laughs keep coming
	4:56pm Constance De Witt: I miss the Soviet Union. Thanks as usual for the great atmosphere, Kenzo.
	4:57pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): My terrible pleasure, Constance.
	5:02pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Hear the audio archive here, anytime!

Listener comments!
	3:02pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): War Is(n't) Over
	3:14pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): (if you still want it)
	3:19pm Santos L. Halper: What is this lovely loop that W is sullying?
	3:20pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Explosions in the Sky
	3:20pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Your Hand In Mine, I think
	3:21pm Santos L. Halper: Ah, thanks, that makes sense (in more ways than one)
	3:26pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): A tradition of pro-war torch-passing continues unabated
	3:34pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): There you go, a full list of all the things.
	3:36pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Huh, this song was only a month old during this broadcast
	3:38pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Gerson joined the Bush campaign before 2000 as a speechwriter and went on to head the White House speechwriting team. "No one doubts that he did his job exceptionally well," wrote Ramesh Ponnuru in a 2007 article otherwise very critical of Gerson in National Review. According to Ponnuru, Bush's speechwriters had more prominence in the administration than their predecessors did under previous presidents because Bush's speeches did most of the work of defending the president's policies, since administration spokesmen and press conferences did not. On the other hand, he wrote, the speeches would announce new policies that were never implemented, making the speechwriting in some ways less influential than ever.
	3:39pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): My most vivid memory of Mike at Starbucks is one I have labored in vain to shake. We were working on a State of the Union address in John's (McConnell's) office when suddenly Mike was called away for an unspecified appointment, leaving us to 'keep going.' We learned only later, from a chance conversation with his secretary, where he had gone, and it was a piece of Washington self-promotion for the ages: At the precise moment when the State of the Union address was being drafted at the White House by John and me, Mike was off pretending to craft the State of the Union in longhand for the benefit of a reporter.
	3:40pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Gerson proposed the use of a "smoking gun/mushroom cloud" mixed-metaphor during a September 5, 2002 meeting of the White House Iraq Group, in an effort to sell the American public on the nuclear dangers posed by Saddam Hussein.
	3:42pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): “Gerson wanted to use the theological language that Bush had made his own since Sept. 11,” Frum writes, “so ‘axis of hatred’ became ‘axis of evil.’ ” Bush had nothing to do with it. Frum does allow, however, that once Bush “uttered it, ‘axis of evil’ ceased to be a speechwriter’s phrase and became his own.”
	3:53pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Coming to the end of Beautiful Terror...Children's Television Voteshop (Behavior Modification) up next.
	3:57pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Oh, I never got to thank Isabelle in Quebec, and Monica in Germany. Thanks!
	3:58pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): And Chresti, of course. And you too, Santos!
	4:04pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Hmm, to dig up the source listing for this one...
	4:10pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I wonder if this is the version that ends right here...
	4:12pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Ooh I haven't heard these parts in a long time
	4:13pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): The Disney/ABC propagandists reunited in 2001 just to make this delightful cartoon celebrating the existence of the electoral college that prevents citizens from having the final choice in presidential elections. "The electoral college will have the final voice."
	4:16pm Constance De Witt: Yes, that's right!
	4:16pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Welcome back to the new old new old world, Constance!
	4:18pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): OK, maybe it'll end right here...
	4:18pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Wow, more parts of Children Television Voteshop we never hear anymore...
	4:19pm Constance De Witt: Humans are not really important after all, Kenzo. We will need to accept that fact, soon.
	4:19pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): 'struth
	4:28pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): OMG, looking at the playlist from the full version of The Wizard of War (edit playing today), I played a Mary Poppins track by Sherman & Sherman called Fidelity Fiduciary Bank. Is that real?
	4:33pm Martinibomb: Hi Kenzo!
	4:33pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Welcome to the same ol' world as always, Martinibomb
	4:34pm Martinibomb: Well it's a nice world to visit
	4:35pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Yeah, you can be nice in it
	4:36pm Martinibomb: I'll try to behave
	4:39pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): If not, they'll behave you.
	4:42pm Constance De Witt: Love and anarchy for all!
	4:43pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I remember this one. The man kicked, and then I found 79 speeches in a hurry and ran in to do this one live. I'm looking at the files now...many are RealAudio.
	4:46pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): <3 @CDW
	4:51pm Constance De Witt: Freedom for South Americans... ha ha.
	4:52pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): The laughs keep coming
	4:56pm Constance De Witt: I miss the Soviet Union. Thanks as usual for the great atmosphere, Kenzo.
	4:57pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): My terrible pleasure, Constance.
	5:02pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Hear the audio archive here, anytime!
