Thoughts on Political Violence


Political violence is never okay.  We need to be better than that.

Yes, we're going to talk about political violence today - from a fact based prospective, and in light of the assassination of a certain right-wing influencer (who, it should be pointed out, our intrepid host does not agree with but he did not deserve what happened to him - no one does).

We will try our best to dive further into this subject in future episodes because it deserves exploration.

Prager U Test for Oklahoma Teachers


As the uncle of school children in the State of Oklahoma, Mike is quite offended by what the powers-that-be in that state are forcing on the kids in their public schools - that the Bible be taught in public school; that the lies of J6 be taught as fact; and that teachers coming to the Sooner State from elsewhere (specifically New York or California) take a test from an unaccredited right-wing YouTube channel posing as a "university."

As a public service, and in the interest of torturing himself, Mike takes the test - and you get to hear his reaction in real time.
