The Alyona Show 1/12/12

We'll take a look at what negotiations with the Taliban might really look like, and if the video of US marines that's making the rounds might do any damage. Then, in his final days as Mississippi Governor, Haley Barbour granted over 200 pardons, leading of course to mass outrage. Now, a judge has temporarily blocked the pardons, including the release of some 21 prisoners. Also the DNC and RNC are still months away, but that doesn't mean that the cities aren't preparing. Tampa and Charlotte are loading up on tanks, swat teams, and surveillance helicopters. And don't miss our happy hour.

I'm new to this show, So far I like it a lot... but Jenny Churchill annoys the shit out of me. I think I'll start skipping happy hour so I don't have to hear her. Being a producer means she probably does a lot... not saying she is not valuable.

alyonas first call in. caller hi alyona i agree with your position on bradley manning.love your coverage of occupy wallstreet and i just want to ask how many vaginas you have.

trashing media figures does not become Alyona. her wit is better targeted on bad ideas, and not against individuals. it is beneath her.

Marines urinating on dead bodies. I thought the Marines were supposed to be the best we have. That kind of stunt would have been something the SS or the NKVD would warm up to. The crudest of the crude. The USA has no claim to any moral high ground.

You want to solve most of the Afghan region's problems? End prohibition. End the war on doctors. Buy the opium on the open market before it can be processed into heroin. Make pharmaceuticals. Treat people's pain. Problem solved. You can pay the farmers more for the product, everyone is happy except the CIA and the heroin trade.
