• Ep 851: Thou Shalt Not, Dumpster Fuhrer!
    Oct 31 2024

    h/t Jimmy Kimmel for turning "Dumpster Fire," which Driftglass actually coined on his blog, into "Dumpster Fuhrer."

    Bible Bitch has a very special "thou shalt not" for the Trump campaign. And Driftglass compares Harris at the Elipse with Lincoln at Gettysburg. And it fits.

    We're off next Tuesday, Election Day, but we will appear on the Hal Sparks program on YouTube that day. See you then!

  • Ep 850: Oops! So Many Actual Voters Can't Take 'A Joke'
    Oct 30 2024

    Trump's very very racist rally. Who could have predicted? Everybody.

    Also, a certain NYT columnist who is NOT David Brooks, Ross Douthat, makes up reasons why he can't endorse Harris, including, and we are not making this up, traffic deaths during Covid.

    And we've seen election literature from BOTH parties here in Springfield Illinois, but one party is... missing something? from their literature.

  • Ep 848: Yeah We're Never Mixing Tea With Lemonade Ever Again
    Oct 23 2024

    Funny how Republicans loved the "p" word when it was about Bill Clinton.

    Driftglass's 'five minutes on David Brooks' is back. Tick tock!

    And we're not exactly accepting the Cheneys and The Bulwark into our tent.

  • Ep 847 Reading Right Wing Facebook For Filth
    Oct 17 2024

    Three weeks left. Kamala shows Bret Baier for the abusive bully jerk and not-a-journalist he is. Driftglass reads a right wing Facebook post for filth and notes how much it depends...on the lies of the past?

  • Ep 846 A 'Permanent Republican Insanity'
    Oct 16 2024

    Karl Rove, Fox News, and the rest wanted to program voters to vote Republican no matter what. They spent so much time on the 'vote Republican' part, and now the 'no matter what' part has come home to roost.

    Also, Kamala Harris uses "Good Trouble" to drive Trump into publicizing his insanity repeatedly. And we make some predictions about the first David Brooks columns of 2025.

  • Ep 845: 'No One Could Have Predicted Hurricane Trump'
    Oct 11 2024

    How is Donald Trump like a hurricane? How is toxic Republicanism like climate change?

    And snuggle up with a cuppa hot cocoa, kids, as Uncle Driftglass reads an excerpt from the 1955 story "Franchise" by Issac Asimov.

  • Ep 844: Focus on the Future!
    Oct 9 2024

    The idea of focusing on the future isn't the flex (or the excuse) the Trump campaign thinks it is.

    We are pleasantly surprised on a road trip to Burlington, Iowa.

    Is Elon Musk's mom alright? Is Megyn Kelly? They seem upset.

    And Kamala Harris isn't aiming for "humble."
