2 a.m.: Bob's Slacktime Funhouse: Presidents Just in time for the specious holiday of Presidents' Day comes this Lymph Node Institute episode, unheard since 2004! With the second Bush election looming, Doc Ellis and Doktor Bugbladder don protective gear to dissect the historical parade of the temporary occupants of the highest office in the land and lay bare their oily secrets. Framed by the live recording of the Stones at Altamont, the doktors slice away the creature's plastic skin and expose the interweaving complexities of the insidious puppet hand within the system that controls its regularly "elected" manqués. Even the LNI's expertise can't eradicate the blight of our dummycratic setup--but like a physical lymphatic system, they can instruct you as to the truth so that you will be inoculated with the knowledge to armor you against the Slack-sapping works of the Conspiracy! Yes--that's where their name comes from, and that's what they do. And the Lymph Node Institute does it better than anyone else.
