Just got finished recording Show 33. Jordy is doing the engineering, so I suspect it'll be posted tomorrow or the next day.
Theme: Political Music, with a potential Sub-Theme of Songs For Our Dear President.
Question from the Show: Why is it that you can get away with saying just about anything about someone as long as you preface it with one of: "With all due respect..." or "Bless his soul, but..." or "I'm just sayin'..." Can someone explain that to us?
"With all due respect, Mr President, you're a fucking idiot." See? It works!
"Our President has the IQ of a turnip; bless his soul..." This is amazing!
"What a fuck-wit.... I'm just sayin'..." Truly, one of the wonders of the 'merakin language...

I think it's Southern. It's the whole "bless his heart" phenomenon captured by the great Henry Cho - in which "Bless your heart" is Alabama for "You so STEW-pid..."
speaking of, we have to go down there now for the frakkin' wedding so I can become my own second cousin. I will now eat a bucket of broken crockery.

I could see that. "Bless his [noun]" going along with the whole Bible Belt thing.
And, while you're down there, before to tell Uncle Pa that I say "Hi!" and that it was nice meeting him!
