The Bugle, audio newspaper for a visual world.

Hello Bugleers and welcome to issue 59 of the Bugle for the week beginning Monday the

12th of January 2009 with me and his ultimate here in the picturesque village of London.

And in New York City USA Mr. John Oliver. Hello Andy, hello Bugleers and it is your last week in

that London studio. It is the last week. And we're moving studio next week so if Andy's half

of the Bugle sounds a bit different it's probably because he's had less free ribina.

But this week I'm fully stocked up with free ribina. So it is an emotional farewell to

unique and in bugle tradition when we finish using a studio we are going to torch it at the

end of this recording. Just before we're back to work Andy my last few days I've went down to

DC my only previous relationship with that city is upsetting people and being chased by security

shouting you can't film here so I went down I saw the Lincoln Memorial which is fantastic and

the Vietnam Memorial which is pretty overwhelming and not a good place I would argue for a work call

which one man seemed to disagree with there are a series of statues of soldiers walking across

a field with hollow eyes extremely beautiful and they were joined in their painful tablobe by

a spectacular moron talking on his phone about the need for urgency in him getting December's

sales figures since his factory. I guess we all have different battles to fight Andy he's just

a different kind of hero. I guess that's really what the victims of Vietnam would have wanted

the freedom for Americans to continue doing business. He was being far more patriotic as an

American than you were just standing there and crying. It's Monday the 12th of January 2009 which

means John it's the 8th anniversary of when there were only eight years and eight days left until

George W. Bush leaves the White House. God it doesn't seem like yesterday does it? Also means it's

41 years since Johnny Cash played full some prison and also nice good start good start what a gig
