  • Live In a Bubble

    Sorry, guys. Get out to “flyover country”. Months later, everything you claimed would happen didn’t. I mean it’s ok to be upset about losing an election, but come on. Talk about bitter. Blaming the voters? You really need to check your self, saying that the voters have “hate in their heart.” And “our country is done.” Cmon, talk about hyperbole.

  • If it quacks like a duck…

    This current incarnation of social/political chaos seems fated to eat itself by destroying its ability to govern. Furthermore, it is incapable of admitting—much less recognizing—its own pathology. Conversely, this podcast calls a duck a duck and continues to supply clearsighted analysis.
