    Feb 4 2025

    Adam and Jeff return to the air after receiving pre-emptive pardons from out-going President Joe Biden for any crimes they might have committed while not in the employment of the Biden Family Business or for any actions they might have taken while not serving on the J6 Committee. Adam and Jeff pay homage to the recently-passed President Jimmy Carter and point out that he was a decent person who was caught up in challenging events that defined his presidency in a negative way. To his credit, Adam notes that Carter never weaponized the government against any individuals even though Adam and Jeff could provide a lengthy list of people who should have been targeted for weaponization. They also discuss some possible future job possibilities for Kamala Harris and, based upon her campaign having lost $1 billion dollars in a losing effort and still ending up $20 million in the red, believe that anything having to do with money or counting might not be a wise choice. Jeff believes her unique speaking techniques would lead to an impressive career as a speech therapist. She could also work as a grade-school teacher due to her ability to incorrectly explain complex concepts using simple words. Jeff thinks she might be perfectly suited to be a cruise ship activities director due to her deliriously happy laughter which would no doubt encourage hung-over passengers to get up at 4 a.m. every morning to do their exercises. As far as Joe Biden is concerned, Adam and Jeff suggest he could be an outstanding Walmart greeter so long as he was tethered to the front door to keep him from wandering off. Another possibility might be for him to sit in a Christmas window display in a store on Fifth Avenue in New York City while eating an ice cream cone.

  • The Omaha Bugle Offers Its Post-Mortem of the 2024 Election
    Nov 23 2024

    In discussing the outcome of the 2024 election, Adam and Jeff said that they were surprised by both the speed with which the winner of the election was decided and the almost complete lack of dirty tricks on election night. Indeed, they were expecting that a dump truck load of ballots would be found on a country road in Pennsylvania or Michigan or any other swing state. They also suggested that the Harris campaign suffered from several almost insurmountable challenges--not the least of which was the fact that Vice President Harris was the running mate of President Joe Biden--who was probably one of the worst chief executives in the history of the United States. So Harris had the unenviable task of running as an incumbent and having to tout the record of an extraordinarily inept administration. Moreover, she did nothing to convince voters during her tenure that she was anything other than one of the worst vice presidents in the history of the United States and, in fact, refused to do interviews for many weeks on the campaign trail to offer different ideas as to how she would handle things as president. The litany of failure including the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, the weaponization of the Department of Justice, the dismantling of the southern border which enabled at least 10 million illegal migrants to enter the United States without any vetting at all, and the passage of enormous spending programs that kicked off the worst inflation in a generation all created enormous hostility toward the Biden Administration and probably made it impossible for his vice president to secure an election victory. Moreover, the Vice President's confusing speaking manner and her difficulty in connecting with ordinary individuals (particularly those who do not wear thousand dollar pants suits) made her prospects for victory even less likely in hindsight.

  • Has the Earth's Population Explosion Fizzled Out? Why are Women Choosing to Have Fewer Children?
    Nov 9 2024

    Adam and Jeff return to the airwaves after an unexpected hiatus of several weeks that was prompted by a storming of the Omaha Bugle headquarters by local college students who occupied the broadcasting center and shut down operations to underscore their support for free speech. Fortunately, the students eventually left when they ran out of snack foods and energy drinks in the break room. However, they still vandalized the building and sprayed graffiti on all of the cars in the employee parking lot (except for the car owned by Jeff which was in a parking space that was apparently deemed to be too far away to be worth the trouble). Anyways, order was eventually restored and the first broadcast by the Omaha Bugle was released; it focused on the fact that national populations are shrinking throughout the world. East Asia, particularly Korea, Japan and China, have seen their populations begin to decline in absolute terms with Korea itself having a birth rate that is only 1/4 that of which is needed to stabilize the population. This decline is being mirrored to varying degrees throughout the world. Being males, Adam and Jeff then proceed to discuss why women might be choosing to have fewer children while acknowledging that the broadcast would probably have been better served had an actual woman been asked to discuss why women might not want to have as many children as in past generations. Nevertheless, they do offer a number of reasons such as the high costs of raising children, the desire of more women to have careers, and even the preference for a childless lifestyle that is viewed by many as being less problematic. Jeff then brings up some of the ways in which shrinking populations will invariably affect everything we make and consume; it will mark a complete reversal of the centuries-old paradigm of steadily expanding production and steadily increasing consumer demand for many products.
