So Blue Gal and I are parked at the Heartland, nursing cold coffee, spit-balling ideas for
the Professional Left podcast. This must be fifteen, sixteen years back.
In staggers three frat-necks, last-call refugees.
One squints at us. “Who the hell you two supposed to be?”
“We’re the Professional Left Podcast.”
“'Podcast'?” the other says. “The fuck is a 'podcast'?”
We give ’em the kindergarten version.
“So lemme get this straight,” he says. “You yap at each other about crap
nobody cares about, play it back for nobody, and you call it professional?”
They lose it, fall all over themselves.
So I say, “Alright, heroes. What’s your gig?
Professionally?”
Bald Tatts goes, “I get mopes to eat bugs, and get kicked in the nads.”
“This by you is a profession?”
“Pays great. Better’n your whatever-cast.”
(So was that Joe Rogan?
At this point, we don’t know.)
Next guy pipes up. Chest out. “I don’t fart around on a mic. I get guys elected. Pro-fess-ionally. Just got hired by Mitt Romney. Ever heard of him?”
They cackle like hyenas.
(So was that Tim Miller?
At this point, we still don’t know.)
Then Bug Boy and Romney Boy shove the third forward.
“Tell ’em. Show these clowns what pro looks like.”
Third guy goes, “Damn right. I write jokes. For the President of the United States. Ever heard of him? That Biden-pizza-Indiana bit? That was mine.”
(So was that Jon Favreau?
At this point, we're still not sure.)
Bug Boy says, “My crew’s goin’ places. President Hillary. President Romney. Whatever.”
Joke Guy goes, “And nobody’s ever gettin’ tired of bug-eatin’.”
Romney Boy adds, “And no way you'll ever catch us babblin’ into a mic beggin’ randos for beer money.”
They stagger away, laughing.
And that -- swear on a stack -- is how the Professional Left Podcast was born.

And that's the truth
For the sake of avoiding a lengthy diagnosis of how right wingers arrive to the state of mid they seem to freely embrace. We can have that discussion later.
It is undeniable they are unhappy with their right to peruse happiness with their liberty.
Why do they have such a feverish desire to inflict their beliefs on others? For instance, Their obsession with the notion they want to ban books they "believe" are wrong. It is not enough for them to simply not read those books , not buy them or discuss them. No. They must ban them from everyone else .
They demand marriage to be one man and one woman. Except when they are married and have affairs, divorce, remarry , divorce and remarry.
So they want to ban divorce so others cannot do what they do.
It is the same with abortion. They want to ban it so no one else can have access but will retain their use of it when needed. Whole declaring their pro life position citing their deeply held religious belief. They more than support the death penalty for the good measure of hypocrisy.
In part, the old saying "do as I say , not as I do" comes to mind.
There are many more of these issues to be pointed out. But, I am sure you get the intent and can figure out many of them without me pointing them out.
Mr Glass, looking forward to your take on Bobo’s rantings on PBS News Hour yesterday evening - swear to goodness he was either drunk on $25 airport bourbons on the rocks or befuddled by having to share the spotlight with a Black woman.
Oh I believe you - 100%; it's a funny old World.
