OK - calling you and bluegal out for the next podcast. We on the left, and you in the last podcast, fret and worry about what to do about the Bachmanns and Gohmerts. You know my solution - embarrass and mock their voters in the hopes of changing 1% to get the Democrats to 51 (or wherever they need to get to). If you have a better idea how to get these sociopaths out of office, let's hear it.

Your discussion of Lost was so dunder-headed and blow-hardy that I almost have to stop listening to you guys. I love you, but go fuck yourself! Stick to politics.
Anonymous,
Too late: Oceanic flight 815 is in the air. As of next week our name is changing to "The Professional Lost" as we're doing week-by-week recaps of tv shows that disappointed us.
First Episode: Twin Peaks.
SecondEpisode: Mrs. Columbo.
Maybe you could do Breaking Bad and give away all the endings, too.
Maybe your increasing popularity is somehow linked to HOW FUCKING AWESOME you both are. Just a thought.

If that's your reaction to hearing an opinion about a goddamn TV show, I suggest you take a long, hard look at what's really important in your life.
While I agree with the sentiment that Lost was one of the lamest and worst-crafted pseudo-intellectual TV turds ever put out there, I wouldn't have a hissy fit if something I like was criticized for perfectly valid reasons like Driftglass did. Everything he said was true about Lost, you just don't want to accept it and that somehow offends you on some sort of primal level apparently.
