Jonathan Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 If you get Showtime, watch for Penn and Teller's Bullshit! program on handicap parking, featuring Ed Hudgins. He's pretty smooth.J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greybird Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Ed Hudgins was indeed articulate in pointing out both intended and unintended consequences of the ADA. (And managed to mention The Objectivist Center in his self-introduction.) So was Greg Perry, long-time writer for LewRockwell.com, whose lack since birth of seven fingers and one leg hasn't kept him from creating 75 computer books.For the uninitiated, the title is, indeed, "Penn & Teller: Bullshit!" for a reason. They (well, Penn Jillette, as Teller has the Harpo Marx silence shtick) are wanting to vent on and about the irrational, anti-scientific, and statist trends in our society.They despise these developments, and how they're manifested in everything from colon cleansing to Wal-Mart bashing to enforced handicapped parking — to note only this season's topics. And for once, a couple guys in the public eye don't want hemming and hawing about them.I find the frank honesty refreshing, as well as quite cathartic, however vulgar. Genuinely puncturing illusions has rarely been a clean business, and this TV-MA rated show is no exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Grieb Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Steve,I think the show is very well done.It's hard for me and others to refer to the show.I'm not sorry that taboo remains in our culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Hudgins Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 For you Penn and Teller fans you can read about P&T in my article etitled "Skeptics and Humanists: Allies or Enemies of Individualism?" in The New Individualist, April, 2006(By the way, when Penn Jillette had a radio show, he listed on the "books to read" part of his website Atlas Shrugged!)Finally, Penn and I at the James Randi conference in 2006: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Russell Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Theodore Pinnock, the attorney who is harassing the communities of Alpine and Julian over ADA compliance, is nothing more than an extortionist. It's a shame, really, because his life story is inspirational. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Hudgins Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 FYI -- In the latest episode of Penn and Teller BS they debunk a lot of anger management programs and at the end give examples of how people do positive things in the face of anger to empower themselves. One of the examples from Penn is “Ayn Rand was enraged by communists and people who tried to tear down heroes so she wrote Atlas Shrugged” as Teller throws a book with a hammer and sickle on the cover in the trashcan.
