Hey, Blue Gal:
Don't apologize for your passion. The sane among us have a right to be angry. Like you said last week: We're the majority, and we need to tell our ostensible representatives what we want. If, as Mitch McConnell has promised, the Republicans are going keep trying to take people's access to healthcare, then it's incumbent upon us to keep badgering Congress to keep their hands off it or fix what's wrong with it. That strikes me as a lot more constructive than typing "Stephanie" in the box or paying to see some comedy in a room of "like-minded people."
Call this a conspiracy theory if you like, but I half suspect that since Lindsay Graham and John McCain are such "good buddies," Graham was attached to this latest repeal effort in order to garner support from McCain despite its not being crafted under regular order.
Thank you, Von Wenk! -- BG
Good morning, Mr. Glass.
Blue Gal in my right headphone. Driftglass in my left. Which one of you is supposed to be the evil one? :)
Be seeing you.
You probably should lose the Bernie impression Driftglass. It kind of runs contrary to your "both sides don't" slogan.
After the healthcare debate on CNN this week, your doppleganger, Charlie Pierce suggested a Sanders/Klobuchar ticket in 2020. Within minutes, hundreds of symmetrically timed Bernie bashing tweets poured in from out of country. Same thing whenever Joy Reid makes a snide comment about him. obnoxious, computer generated tweets, for AND against are posted. Your partner frequently retweets them.
As I messaged her, I subtract five dollars from my budgeted contribution to TPLP every time you are she annoy me. I either give it to my local food bank or to the Starbucks baristas college fund, in the hopes they will learn how to spell my name.
FYI to Charlie's flesh and blood Twitter followers who say Bernie is not a Democrat, neither is Klobuchar. Like him, she receives her state's endorsement from the Democratic Party, but officially runs as a third party candidate.
Other than your impersonation of Larry David doing Bernie, good podcast. KUTGW!
Legislative terrorism. And like most terrorists, they are entirely incapable of understanding the damage they inflict.
Well, as of right now they have two hours and forty minutes to pull it off with fifty votes, and I'm not really worried about them succeeding this time.
So that gives us what, four months? Four months of "we were too lame to repeal it so we'll sabotage the fuck out of it instead."
I'm disabled and on Medicare and Medicaid, and they are attacking me, directly, with this shit.
So I have no time or attention left for those who can't see far enough through the goddamn lies to win.
Win.
Actually, really, win the fucking election.
Get the fuck rid of the goddamn wrecking crew Fergus has in there just buggering away at the government, and the legislative creepy clown car who just can't seem to understand why their hideous agenda doesn't make it into law and rude people keep yelling at them about it.
You know, the assholes who wouldn't be there right now if we had won.
So thank you again for the podcast. I left a comment at Blue Gal's blog thanking her for the description of Huntsville, which I found immensely helpful.

For many reasons I enjoyed this podcast very very much. There was such a natural swing from anger through laughs to somber authenticity. If I were a millionaire you two would "never be able to spend it all." Thank you.
You're welcome Doug. And Jim, the "swing" is natural because that's how we roll. Okay I'm mixing my metaphors here. Thanks for the kind words on your millionaire-hood! -- BG
