What a week! It began with the best day of our lives - the New Hampshire primaries and ended with the surprise death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. He was a complicated man, scourge to liberals, BFF to RBG. knower of real pizza, not-knower of the rights of women, gays, minorities, and most other human creatures to have healthcare, the right to marry, or services and dignity of any kind. The GOP is honoring him the best they know how - by refusing to do their job. Alex Jones and Matt Drudge are honoring him the best way they know how - by spreading conspiracy theories about his death. We're honoring him the best way we know how - by bringing you news on the most raucous GOP debate to date, the upcoming Nevada caucuses and South Carolina primaries, and so much more! It's yet another rollercoaster week in this unbelievably exciting election cycle!
BTL #187 - Disappointing Wins, Victorious Losses - 2/8/16
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!
BTL #185 - Squirmishes in Hollywood - 1/25/16
Never in our lives have we had so much to say about performance art, meta commentary, and...idiots. Lots of thoughts on idiots. Plus, panic on the right, left, and center about the rollercoaster of a primary and the gloves come off in the Clinton-verse! Oh, and it’s super duper hot these days and it will be forever and ever so...that’s cool.
BTL # 180 - Hungry Hungry Hippos - 12/14/15
This week on BTL...195 Countries are willing to take a chance on believing in climate change, which is a far better percentage than in our own Congress. Womp womp. And Ted Cruz is surging in Iowa while continuing to be in an irrelevant kind second place nationally. Life/New Hampshire can work in mysterious ways. Plus, Trump once again won the internet by losing at reasonable thought, but all this might be adding up to the most deliciously contentious GOP convention in recent history. We literally CANNOT WAIT. BRING ON THE DELEGATE THEFT! Unfortunately, regardless of what happens next the rent will remain too damn high because Jimmy McMillan is sick of wasting his time trying to solve this for us ungrateful fools who never elected him. Goodbye to all that needed discussion about rent and unneeded discussion about McMillan's his facial hair. We'll miss you both! All this and tons more! What a week!
BTL # 179 - Deadly Money - 12/7/15
This week on BTL...at what point do we get to start calling the NRA a terrorist organization? Is it now? Do we have to wait until we hit 400 mass shootings a year? Luckily for us, the GOP proposed all sorts of strategies to deal with this week’s mass shootings including...outright denial, misplaced blame, and voting no on common sense gun legislation. You be you, America! Actually though, don't. Other genius GOP ideas's this week: asking their GOP Senate candidates to wear cooler clothes and dig up tree roots, repealing Obamacare in new and exciting ways, and getting rid of that terrible foreign scourge: hummus. All this and lots more!
Political Wordplay: 2016's Slogans Decoded
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.
