A quick montage I put together to prepare you. Hey, the apocalypse may not be so bad, I hear cockroaches taste better than you’d think…

Episode 31–Do Hillary’s Scandals Matter? “The Passion of Hillary”
In this episode, we put Hillary on trial for her various “crimes” and see just how much people really care about Benghazi, “emailgate,” and Hillary’s failure to tip a waitress at brunch. We ponder just what exactly Republicans are hoping to find in Hillary’s emails—like a torrid affair with Joe Biden—and if people really care…
Episode 21–Is Bernie the New Ron Paul, Perot, Nader, Buchanan, or a Political Poet?
It’s our first “Bernie only” episode and we wonder if he’ll be the next Ron Paul, Ralph Nader, Ross Perot, etc. (lots of R-named ego-independents) and if there’s a link between mortality-fears and running for president. [Original title of episode “Save Us From Old Men Promising Revolution.”] Also discussed is if Bernie is a “political…
Episode 20–What Are the Strategies for the General?
As we like to do with every 5th episode, this one prognosticates the future as we look at Trump and Hillary’s strategies for the general election. [Hint: We think HRC’s campaign manager may have an easier time than Trump’s, unless he pulls more “brilliant” moves like his infamous Taco Bowl picture.] And we also take…
Larger Editorial: Conservative Never Trump is Dead, Long Live Liberal Never Trump
The conservative version of The Never Trump Movement is dead. But that does not mean the Never Trump Movement itself is dead. The sad truth of the Never Trump movement is that it came paradoxically too late and too early. It arrived at the exact time it was too late to beat Trump in the Republican…
Why Can’t We Let Lewinsky Go?
A few days ago, a new podcast episode all about the differences between Republican sex scandals and Democratic sex scandals was posted. The discussion included the curious, paradoxical double-standard that the social conservatives (Republicans) were actually more likely to forgive a sex scandal than the socially liberal, anything-goes Democrats. Listed were examples of powerful Republicans who made…
Democrats Don’t Need a Revolution, Republicans Do
It’ll be one of the great mysteries of the historically-long, never-ending 2016 primary season: “what went wrong with Bernie’s revolution?” Yes, how did the “shocking” defeat of a candidate who was never leading in a single poll happen? Now I have my own theories about that (which I’ll be happy to get into later this…
The Southeast is Actually the MOST Important Area for Democrats
For months we’ve seen Bernie and his even worse traveling circus of goons—i.e. surrogates—basically write-off the Southeast and laugh dismissively about Hillary’s wins there. They might say different variations of things like “Well, it doesn’t matter if Hillary won ‘Bamasippi’ as she’ll never win those states in November.” They might even mock the “ignorance” of…
Episode 16–Why Do People Hate Hillary?
It’s our shortest podcast in weeks, yet the theme is something that could be a ten-part miniseries: Why do people hate Hillary Clinton? We try to get to the bottom of it and also take time out to “investigate” non-scandals like Benghazi, White Water, and the obvious set-up of Monica keeping that stained-dress. Then we finish…
Actually, Hillary Doesn’t Need Bernie’s Fans, but He Sure Needs Hers
We’ve heard the same tired lines about the Democratic primary for months: “Well, no matter who wins the primary” as if there’s any doubt Hillary will “they’ll need each other’s fans.” And now that we’ve seen Bernie’s chances of winning winnow down to zero, the more specific “Hillary will need to appeal to his fans…
Is Obama Right in Saying Trump Won’t Succeed Him as President?
Recently, Barack Obama spoke to a group of Los Angeles fundraisers. [I wonder if Bill Maher was there? I’m guessing not. I wonder if Obama’s swinging by tonight’s Real Time episode? Also, I’m guessing not.] And he made the bold prediction that Trump isn’t “succeeding” him as President. Now sure, that sounds like sound money…
Needless to Say, Hillary Clinton is Beyond “Qualified” to be President
This article won’t be very long. Recently, Bernie Sanders—-auditioning for the role of “distant relative everybody is a little disappointed showed up to the family reunion”—-decided to keep destroying his legacy by hammering Hillary harder than he has in the past. He even said she was not “qualified” to be president, even though everybody pretty…
Episode 15–What Would Each Candidate Do as President?
Welcome back friends! After a week hiatus, we’re ready to tackle the biggest questions: is Ben Carson the worst campaign surrogate you’ve ever seen? Is Alabama Governor Robert Bentley’s sex scandal even more surprising than Ted Cruz apparently finding five women willing to have sex with him? Is oil the common thread that unites America’s…
