Professional Left Podcast Episode 837: Episode Two Redux!


"The president of the United States will be taking a trip over to India that is expected to cost the taxpayers $200 million a day." -- Michele Bachmann, 2010 winner of PolitiFact’s ‘Biggest Lie of Year’


The Professional Left Podcast with Driftglass and Blue Gal

Ep 838: Episode Two Redux!

September 17, 2024

No Fair Remembering 2010?  Our SECOND episode from over 14 years ago.  Before we were married!  Driftglass was in Chicago, and Blue Gal was in Springfield, recording over Skype.  

This episode was recorded at a pivotal moment in recent American political history. The Supreme Court had just handed down its landmark Citizens United decision, fundamentally altering and corrupting the landscape of campaign finance. Meanwhile, the country was mere weeks away from the signing of the Affordable Care Act, a piece of legislation that would reshape the healthcare system and lead to Republicans losing their damn minds for years to come.

Listening to our discussion from 14 years ago, you may be struck by the urgency and uncertainty of that moment.

Junior Dude is two years older than our Boy on the spectrum and hearing his voice on episode two brought back so many sweet memories of that time. I think we found you prior to your becoming 'The Professional Left' and getting hitched. We lived in Las Vegas then and stayed with you when we moved to Denver–ish. Thanks for the past 12+ years!
