Our first episode after the Paris attacks. Sorry it's been a while, but we make up for it with some important facts and, as usual, cunning insights. In the days...well, now weeks since the attacks in Paris, we've seen knee-jerk overreactions, anti-immigrant votes based on speculation and fear, and pandering to racists. And that's just certain Democratic members of Congress. The reaction from GOP presidential hopefuls is.. well, what you'd expect Basically, nauseating and as neo-Fascist as you can get without calling it that. Which leads in to another topic, the "PC police" that conservatives decry now seem to apply only to domestic right-wing terrorists. Oh yea, they're still out there too. Happy Thanksgiving!

These are getting harder and harder to sit through while keeping our sanity. Dana watched with us but bailed. So Rachel and I tried our best to navigate the endless sea of double-talk, self-contradiction, and outright baffling lunacy. Did you know that the 2011 Consumer Financial Protection Bureau caused the 2008 Financial Crisis? This time travel paradox plot brought to you by Carly Fiorina, with accompanying propaganda commercial included.

So, tonight was the Democratic Presidential Forum First to South Carolina something debate-ish (but not really a debate thingy) hosted by Rachel Maddow. And it was basically a glorified Maddow interview of all 3 remaining Democratic candidates. And my god, what a relief it was as compared to every other debate thus far. And, since everyone else is out of town, I (Trav) decided to talk to myself for an hour about it, as well as Ben Carson's very bad, horrible, no-good day; Wherein he declared himself King of Sweden and undisputed ruler of the Crab People, while claiming he once ate an entire leather sofa and ottoman on a dare.... angrily disputing any who doubted such claims.

It's Election Night! Oh wait.. you didn't even know, did you? Ok, it's an off-year, but there was some important stuff on the ballot, and some good news here in Denver, which we'll tell you all about. As for the rest of the country.. some good, some bad, but a big improvement over this time in 2014. We also catch up on the GOP House mess and the ongoing post CNBC GOP debate temper tantrum, which has now led to... something?
