Always ready to spotlight instances of government waste and folly, Adam and Jeff turn their attention to the boondoggle that is the government effort to purchase electric mail delivery vehicles from a defense contractor that has never built trucks for the civilian market. As about only 612 vehicles have been delivered at a cost of $3 billion, which is equal to a price of almost $5 million per vehicle, Jeff and Adam wonder if there is a better way to deliver the mail. They consult the want adds and find out that there are numerous lightly used trucks available for $20,000 to $30,000 each that could be used as mail vehicles. However, Jeff takes it one step further and proposes that the nation's children become mail carriers and deliver the mail on their bikes--offering a solution that is environmentally green while getting the kids outside for some fresh air.

Adam and Jeff discuss whether they think Congress should spend its time promulgating non-binding resolutions. A recent resolution passed by the House condemning the horrors of socialism is considered. Adam and Jeff wonder if the Congress might have better spent the time on other things such as ending the recent 6-week government shutdown. They also discuss whether it makes any sense for Congress to concern itself with something that is not legally binding as there is already so little time for members to devote their attention to matters of great importance such as their own re-election campaigns. This resolution leads Adam and Jeff to consider the achievements of the greatest mass murderers in history and to wonder why people of each successive generation think socialism will solve all of their problems--despite the attendant historical wreckage.

Cultural anthropologists and nude volleyball magazine collectors Adam and Jeff gather at the desk of the Omaha Bugle to talk about those people who yearn for the “good old days.” As most people who yearn for the fun of subsistence living and widespread disease and death have no idea how bad things were back then, Adam and Jeff waste no time in describing some of the fun when life was “nasty, brutish and short.” They also point out that everything in the good old days took so much time to do whether it involved collecting wood for a fire or trapping animals or even drawing water for a bath that there was no time to contemplate the lack of leisure time.
