• Please Don't "Both Sides" The Crazy
    Jan 3 2021

    When we see violence and mayhem, we have a human reflex to just want it to stop, and to blame both sides.  Jan. 5 - Jan. 8, 2021 may be one of those moments in DC, with the senate being decided in GA on Jan 5 and the inevitable fantasyland melodrama the GOP will cook up around the Jan. 6 confirmation of electoral ballots.  The white power brigade -- whose cause is imaginary and has no legitimate basis -- will be in DC plying their traitorous trade.  Antifa & BLM -- whose causes are completely just -- will be there to contest them.

    Please do not conflate the two.  This is not a "both sides" problem.

  • Why Georgia Matters
    Dec 7 2020

    The two runoff Senate elections in Georgia on Jan. 5 are for the whole ball game:  majority control of the Senate.  So, today's episode is a rundown of the can-do's and can't do's that a Mitch McConnell-controlled Senate can have vs. a Senate controlled by people who might actually give a crap about you, your health, and your society.  Plus, some new nifty video stuff in this episode!

  • Now What?
    Nov 22 2020

    Took a couple of weeks off, just to absorb the election and see where it all stands.  So... .now what?  This episode, discussion of what just happened, what they're doing to try and overturn it, and what to expect between now and Inauguration Day.  This one ran a few minutes long, but hey, since my last one was before Election Day, there's been some things to talk about!

  • Onward Earworm: "Hail To The Funk"
    Nov 15 2020

    In lieu of a podcast this week, I decided to do this little audio-tableau instead.  Because really, what could I say that hasn't been said 24/7 this past week?  Plus, I got to discover that "Hail To the Chief" works in a round!  So, you know, bonus, I guess.  Anyway, I don't know if I can capture the last 4 years & this election in 2 minutes, but this was my best shot.  Enjoy!

    Holy ****, it's Election Day!  We thought it would never get here, but here we are.  This episode covers some of the ways -- past, present, and possible future -- what Emory professor Carol Anderson called "white rage" shows itself in our country.  And it's not always what you think.

  • Finish Him
    Oct 28 2020

    A handy guide through the next week, between now and the Day of Reckoning.  Complete with loud-ass guitars, the states to watch on election night, a goofball retro video game reference, and me trying really, really hard not to say "Let's not Leon Lett this happen."  I think the title pretty well spells out the theme of this one.      

    Warning:  This episode contains rock and roll music.  May cause consciousness.
