Ph.D. envy

12.22.2011

This week, Mike and Rick wonder why Texans don't like money, why Russian schools are resegregating, and how long before 02138 goes under. We've got an interview with a principal who paddles his students, and News of the Weird is plain inappropriate. There are no Mark Foley jokes in this 20-minute podcast.
