his a NEW episode, recorded just a few days ago! Well, it had to happen sooner or later. Unfortunately, there's a weird background noise at some points. I guess maybe we can have new, or we can have perfect…
We start out talking about the Republican Clown Bus, especially Trump. The news media’s obsession with Trump has meant that other stories are being missed. Also, other candidates can't get any attention whatsoever. We even talk a bit about the Democrats. But, we also talk about some of the challenges that Republicans face, especially the party’s attitude toward immigration reform. It leads us to talking about making poor people peeing in a cup.
We thought we were done, but no! One more topic: The death of A&P. And also about Frango mints. It's all about numbers on a balance sheet, the rest be damned. Arthur thinks there HAS to be a better way to raise finance for corporations.
One last thing! A site about all the candidates running for president.
