What the HELL Were You Thinking?

Weather is serious, weather REPORTING is NOT. Weather REPORTING is the hysterical response of glory seeking reporter wannabes who can take a mole hill of a storm turn into mountain of Oh Shit We’re All Gonna Die. Hurricane Sandy was a big fucking deal, and it fucked up the Eastern Seaboard—but from the hyperbolic reportage leading up to the storm, you would think we needed Bruce Willis on a space...

The last two Republican winners of the Iowa Caucus were Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum both of which went on to embarrassingly drop out . In any normal election year, Ted would be heading for a similar fate. But this year, there is a big, orange turd in the punchbowl and all of the sudden a rabid tea tard, grandiose self-promoter literally loathed by his party establishment is preferable to the a...

The Bundy Boys are emblematic for the entire Wingnut Wing of the Conservative Party in the country, they are not entirely sure what it IS they want, but they sure as hell know what they DON’T. And that is anything that comes out of Washington, except the occasional small business loan, federal disaster relief when range fires wipe out their homes, jobs at the dead alien storage facilities with gre...

I guess what I am saying is the new Star Wars movie is more than just a movie, indeed the old Star Wars movies were as well. They touched something in all of us that connects with our deeply troubled childhoods and all the broken and bitter disappointments we feel toward our parents and our lives—when we sit in the theater watching a note for note recreation by JJ Abrams he is not looting our chil...

2016 will actually be CRAZIER, and probably hotter than 2015. Nothing will change, nothing will be done to fix anything, we will continue to ignore our problems and focus on the inane, the pointless and the self interesting while our country and the world, slowly sinks into a morass of its filth and stupidity, but at least I will have show topics for the podcast. And that is all that is really imp...

“Where is the big redemption, that moment where our host wakes up after being visited by the Three Ghosts who show him how much Christmas really means?” you are in for a BIG disappointment. Life is NOT a He-Man and She-Ra Christmas Special where even Skeletor learns a valuable lesson? Yeah, you don't get one of those." Learn more about your ad choices.

The bulk of Trump supporters are also under educated, under employed, under served by their government and under the spell of religion. They are the forgotten Americans, a group of people left in the dust of progress like a Palm Pilot in an iPhone age. Imagine what it’s like from their perspective, things LOOK familiar, all the buttons are there, but somehow they just can’t seem to figure out what...

When politicians SAY they are praying for the victims of crime like this, chances are they probably aren’t so much praying for the victims as praying to God thanking them for another safety check on the elected office. After all, did not the Human Yeast Infection that is the Republican Front Runner actually Tweet that the shooting would give him a bump in his poll numbers. And while the orange ski...

I think it’s ironic that the group of people most likely to be shoved in a locker with our undergarments wedged so far up our asscracks we could taste the fruit on our looms has devolved into the most destructive and vicious group of bullies on the Internet. People who once yearned to be accepted now circle like a pack of angry jocks over a dropped book bag full of Monster Manuals around someone f...

Because we’ve recently learned our show is, for some unexplained reason, slightly more popular in Norway than the rest of the world-- we thought we would take a minute to explain some American Pop Culture References you’ve probably seen on the Internet but do not understand.

very time a Conservative launches into a tirade about refugees, immigrants or radicals, if you hear the words “People I find scary” you will be exactly right. Conservatism is a culture of fear, and fear breeds hate, and hate breeds more terror in an endless loop. I would rather run the miniscule risk of dying in a terror attack than see the Constitution torn up and used to wipe Trump’s ass so he c...

I’ve noted before certain aspect of the PC Culture worked wonders, and thinking about the words you say and the things you do as the impact others is ALWAYS the right thing. But intolerance for the sake of tolerance is the opposite of tolerance it’s hypocrisy. No one expects you to LIKE bigots, racists, Republicans and NASCAR fans--you can say terrible things about them in a podcast until your hea...

Off year elections rarely go well for the party in the White House, but since the election of 2008 the Democrats have lost 900 State Legislature seats, 12 governorships, 69 house seats and 13 Senate Seats, that is not mention all the dog catchers and sewer commissionerships that turned over. When you look at a map of the country and overlay the electoral composition of their governments it looks l...

History is not just a class I got stoned in during high school, it’s important because it reminds of the stupid shit we’ve already done, so that MAYBE we don’t do it again. This is exactly the same reason I keep this inflatable Margaret Thatcher Sex Doll autographed by Reagan I bought on ebay one night while shitfaced. If you keep it sitting there next to the computer, you might slow down a second...

Until then, the Republican Party is holding on to singularly vicious and VERY poisonous snake which has no problems killing the hand that feeds it. Boehner held on for five years, sadly there was no friendly mongoose to save him. He may just be the first to fall. I am left to wonder at what price this will place out. It cost them presidency in 2012, it will likely cost them again in 2016, if the R...

It’s not just bombs, dear listeners, here is a short list of things Americans of are afraid of: Terrorism: in the past 15 years just over 3,000 civilians died in terrorist incidents in the world, and 2,689 of THOSE were on 9/11. Just for a little perspective, 33,000 people a year, every year, die from gun related deaths. And yes, guns are kind of sort of on the list, Americans are afraid of being...

This latest faux outrage, well the outrage is real enough, it is always real, that’s the problem, but the problem causing the outrage is faux is perhaps even more spurious the 999th attempt to repeal Obamacare. Conservative despise Planned Parenthood with a peculiar fury because they made it just about the only place to get a safe, legal abortion in huge swathes of the country. They also have the...

As a New Yorker, and having survived this City for a decade I am now legally allowed to call myself a New Yorker, or at least that is story I am sticking with, nearly naked women are the LEAST offensive thing IN Times Square. In descending order from most to least: Tourists with Selfie Sticks, Tourists with maps, Just Plain Tourists, Costumes Characters, CD Vendors, Tour Bus Leaflet Wavers, Comedy...

Davis refused on the grounds it violated her religious principles. Lying to God when she took an oath to uphold the Constitutio...

First of all, who uses a website to cheat? Honestly? I know I am going to come across like an Old, but whatever happened to heading down the lounge of the Holiday Inn and seeing what happens? Do we NEED a personality profile and an algorithm to find someone to fuck outside our relationship? All I need just the right mix of anger, frustration, horniess and alcohol and it’s done! I could be wrong, b...
