Today I listened to the first episodes of U Talkin' U2 To Me?, U Two Talkin' U2 2 Me Too? Yes., and Me 2 I'm Talkin' U2 To U Too, all in a row. I'm pretty sure that I know significantly less about U2 now than I did when I woke up this morning.

Solid episode, I'd put it somewhere in the middle of the pack of those we've heard so far. I could have used a little less ironic racism, and a little less self-conscious giggling at just how *outrageous* the ironic racism was, though.

Just for the record, Ganja Queen is about the Schapelle Corby case, and doesn't involve Thailand or any Americans. She was from Australia, not Washington state, and she was travelling from Australia to Bali, where her sister lived, when she was busted with the drugs. One of the reasons the story was such a big deal is the fact that Indonesia has the death penalty for drug smuggling, and there was initially some question as to whether it would be sought in her case (it wasn't). I'm guessing that Dana's daughter and Louis CK's daughter will be getting together for "my dad talked loudly and publicly about my bowel movements" group therapy sessions about 20 years down the road.
