Yet Another Semi-Informed Opinion

Yasio 7: Palestine

yasio — Fri, 15 Jun 2007 00:30:58 +0000

In this, even by Yasio standards, semi-informed session, Tom and Peter get bogged down discussing the Israel/Palestine issue prompted by the news of the day. Tom unveils is Great Plan for Three States, something that may be happening as we speak (listen). With this being episode 7 (and not 6), again the number of episodes outnumber the listeners.

Yasio 6: US foreign policy - a Swedish perspective

yasio — Fri, 01 Jun 2007 10:09:31 +0000

In today’s kitchen chat we have our good friend Jan from Sweden to give us a European perspective on US foreign policy. We chat about what to do in Iraq (!), immigration, tourism, Islamic fascism, Iran and Nazism (!), and wrap up with some experiences with globalization. Feel free to visit yasio.podbean.com to comment.

yasio — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 18:08:07 +0000

As the dearth of public attention continues, Tom and Peter persevere in sharing their semi-informed opinions with the world at large. Today’s topics include the Virginia Tech massacre and the definition of “winning” a war, as well as some “interesting” strategy suggestions for the administration.

Yasio third podcast 2007-04-14

yasio — Sun, 15 Apr 2007 05:33:01 +0000

Tom and Peter chat again about politics in a meandering fashion. Today the topic is “catchphrases” - how partisans slip in phrases like “cannot afford to lose the war”, “undercut our troops”, “don’t micromanage the generals”, etc. What do they mean? Do they make sense at face value? What do we do about them?

Welcome to Yet Another Semi-Informed Opinion (Yasio). We set up Yasio to play with podcasting and share our political musings with our friends. Not that they care. And we made it public so the ignorant masses can be educated. Not that they care either. But hey, we said invading Iraq was a Bad Idea, and nobody listened back then either.

Our second podcast

yasio — Fri, 13 Apr 2007 02:11:50 +0000

Topics include the fallout of the Iran “hostage” situation, the veto threat on war funding, whether new recruits are noble or just enable the war, and the theory that we should stay another 20 years in Iraq to prove that it truly cannot be “won”.
