Episode #9 - Prisoner Voting, Rucka, Mikey Bolts, Austin Blank, Marina Joyce, English Bulldogs, Soup

THIS WEEK'S QUESTION: The Virginia Supreme Court recently ruled that the governor doesn't have the right to restore voting for ex-offenders. The question this week is: SHOULD EX-OFFENDERS HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE? YES or NO? I'm joined this week by Austin Blank promoting his art project, Soup Flavored Blankets. Check out these shitty Yelp reviews: http://www.yelp.com/biz/soup-flavored-blankets-black-rock-city-3 I'm also joined by Rucka (http://ruckasworld.com/) and Mikey Bolts (https://www.youtube.com/user/michaelbalalis) who just released his impression challenge #9. Also, here is a quick survey to help out the show: http://survey.libsyn.com/madcastmedia This week we discuss Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe restored an ex-offender's right to vote, and the state supreme court struck it down. Is this constitutional? How long should prisoners be punished for crimes they've committed after they've been released? What other constitutional rights should we withhold from prisoners? The right to bear arms? Many people would think so. We also discuss how screwed English Bulldogs are, and that their only way out of their genetic flaws is to screw their brains out. Also, we touch on the weird Marina Joyce controversy on YouTube where a bunch of dipshit Internet sleuths thought she was kidnapped by ISIS, instead of using Occam's Razor to conclude that it was a PR stunt.
