This week on Curmudgeon\'s Corner, once again Sam and Ivan\'s main topic is Ukraine, and all the various issues surrounding that. But first, Ivan starts talking about emotional support animals on planes, but takes a sharp turn into discussing the persistence of racism in the US and worldwide, and Sam dutifully does the biannual discussion of changing the clocks. Oh, and at the very end, some very very bad karaoke. Sort of.
