This week on BTL, literally everything happened. The Iowa Caucuses! A Democratic Debate! A Republican Debate! It was a bonanza of everything we love and hold dear. We've got caucus results, polling heading into New Hampshire (it's on Tuesday!), and rampant speculation about South Carolina, plus, find our why we're totally over Chris Wallace, totally into DeRay McKesson, and totally pissed at Gloria Steinem. And if all that wasn't enough, Sinkhole Radio is back! What a whirlwind!
Iowa Caucuses: The Results
BTL #184 - #HillaryPillory, The Movement - 1/18/16
Join us this week on BTL as we discuss where our medium tolerance of the idea of maybe voting for Hillary Clinton in the general met it's natural end. Misrepresenting corporate ties was one (bad) thing, but misrepresenting single-payer healthcare and Bernie Sander's (superior) health platform is where we draw the line. We're legit not having her in any way shape or form! Come for the rage, stay for our rundowns of the rest of this action-packed week: Tuesday's State of the Union, Thursday's GOP Debate, Sunday's Dem Debate, and the latest on Iran followed by our coverage of the infuriating/criminal Flint, MI water situation. The episode is long but worth it!
BTL #181 - Talk Of Retirement - 12/20/15
This week on a special bi-coastal BTL, we're joining the chorus of people who think it's time for Debbie Wasserman Schultz to give up the ghost and leave the DNC in less compromised/incompetant hands. Though even her Saturday debate scheduling couldn't stop us from sort of semi-watching the Dem Debate, most of what we took away involved Martin O'Malley being super irrelevant and a little sad. One debate we didn't snore through, however, was last week's GOP debate because GUYS it was 25% fresh shenanigans (though, sadly, also 75% warmongering)! Tune in for our rundown of both debates and more before we disappear for two full weeks into the Christmas ether!
Political Wordplay: 2016's Slogans Decoded
Enough With the Panic
We talked about this on the podcast but decided to reiterate it because IT IS IMPORTANT. If you read last week’s news, you might be under the impression that liberal hero Sen. Sherrod Brown’s endorsement of Hillary Clinton is cause to panic, curl into a ball, throw away all your #feelthebern tee shirts, and stop going on with the business of living. STOP THAT. We'll tell you why.
BTL #175 - Marauding Danger Blimp - 11/2/15
This week on BTL...Paul Ryan is adorably optimistic for a guy who just became House Speaker. And maybe the GOP’s distaste for facts and math explains why their supposed party “frontrunner” (today it's Rubio!) is perpetually in 4th place. Also, DON'T PANIC about the Sherrod Brown Hillary endorsement thing, guys. Everything is going predictably and that's okay. And yet another Clinton v. Fax Machine war in the week's email release. Plus, finally, an adorable military blimp on an adorable mission captures the imaginations of Americans far and wide. At least we can all agree we're pro-blimp!
Meet The Candidates #2 - The Lincoln Logs
Lincoln Chafee. Linc Chafee. Good ‘ole Linc. Third generation governor, beneficiary of Rhode Island's evident dedication to a grand tradition of near-monarchy, and member of any political party that will have him. We've already delved into the biography of his Andover classmate Jeb!, so today we take a closer look at Linc, the aristocrat on the other side of the aisle.
