Professional Left Podcast #501


(Thanks to listener "PMB" for the cool graphic.)

““Idiots doing idiot things, because they’re idiots.”
--  Sterling Archer
SPECIAL NOTICE:  We discovered last week that, due to a screw-up by Visa, our P.O. box had been closed for the past several weeks.  Which means anything you sent to us via the mail during that period was returned as undeliverable.  However, the good people of the Springfield postal union reopened our box right away and all is well.  So anything you send or re-send us -- yarn, scotch, big bags of cash -- will now get to us without delay at this address.

When it comes to the Abortion arguments. Here is one I hadn't heard or ever considered when it comes to conception and the Unborn rights as a American citizen.

For those that "believe" life begins at conception. Tend to believe a woman who has an abortion is infringing on the (unborn) another persons's inalienable right to life, (life -liberty and pursuit of happy).
Deciding to have an abortion. She is not deciding for herself but for someone else's.

Founding Fathers apparently did not see it that way, The 14th Amendment grants citizenship upon being born in the USA or by U.S. citizen parents.
It does not grant this citizenship at the moment of conception.

Now when I hear republicans wanting to rip up the 14th Amendment. I know why.

Condolences for Zeppo. Our cats get to go outside because we feel that them getting to have a cat life that includes the stuff that they are evolved to do outweighs the downside, which is that one day they just don't come back.
We looked for Kitters for two straight months, put up posters, got on Nextdoor, met all of our neighbors in every direction and looked in their back yards, sheds, and under many of their houses until one night we heard this yowling in the back yard and...
Briana went out to check and came back in with our present cat, Little Beast, who is napping on the bed as I type this.
That was almost two years ago.
I'll send you his picture soon, he's really cute, I mean fierce, please don't claw me, fuzzbutt.

I knew the Amash thing was coming as soon as I heard that he quit and apologized to the Freedumb Cock-us. I remember at the time I heard Blue Gal's voice in my head say "I'm an independent!"

Thank you again for the podcast, and I'm glad Lil Bertha is OK again.

relocating the goal posts attempts;

If you would just act and become more like Sean Hannity. You may get some never Trumpers and White Supremacists that do not hate you.

Re branding the product as new and improved:

It will be very hard to stop this Freeload market selling Alligators as a pet Canary. I mean if you put a new label on that can of Spam. What ingredients are in that can best be clearly labeled. Including the Listeria.

I can be bi partisan on this with the GOP with one exception.

The Ingredient listing on the label must be strictly adhered by penalty of prison time.
