effective ruling politics is not built on members of the ruling party voting for their "local interests" on national issues.

TBH, I was pretty amused that democrats lambasted Trump for picking the Hardees CEO for secretary of labor, and then the wikileaks email showed that Clinton was likely going to select Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz. Our fast food is more progressive than theirs I guess.

Yes, it is. Howard Schultz isn't perfect, but he's worlds better than Andrew Puzder. (and love how Mike Allen has become a go-to source when it serves an end)

Starbucks is not fast food
(says the guy who can count the number of times he has been inside a Starbuck's on one hand)

Starbucks is totally fast food, come on.

Yeah Bernie supporters aren't reliving the primary at all, that's only Hillary supporters. Now let's talk about these supposed "ghost cabinet" appointees to say "Hillary would have been bad too" while people who want to destroy government are being confirmed.

I mean ... yes? Like, Starbucks has benefits packages for part-time employees while Carls Jr. is famous for violating laws mandating that employees get a tiny break during the day?

Anyway back to Chapo, this radio play episode kind of sucks. Can't stay with it.

i thought matt's stoned-on-pizza voice was funny but that's p much all i got.
― difficult listening hour, Thursday, 19 January 2017 15:07 (seven years ago) link
Maybe I need to give it more time, I only made it about 10 mins and there was something exhausting about it. It seemed like something that would be really funny and clever at a family gathering but not something I wanted to listen to on the radio.
― the last famous person you were surprised to discover was actually (man alive), Thursday, 19 January 2017 15:09 (seven years ago) link
no it's definitely bad
― adam, Thursday, 19 January 2017 15:12 (seven years ago) link
I went back and listened to the Freeway Ross episode that keeps being recommended, and while it eventually got pretty funny there were 15 minutes of boring shit-shooting at the beginning. Pretty standard for a Guys-in-a-living-room podcast. I can see how people can't hang with this.
― duped and used by my worst Miss U (President Keyes), Thursday, 19 January 2017 15:26 (seven years ago) link
I also didn't know that half of that episode was a relatively sympathetic convo about Sean Hannity
― duped and used by my worst Miss U (President Keyes), Thursday, 19 January 2017 15:27 (seven years ago) link
Yeah, when I recommend eps like that I usually remind people to stick through the shit-shooting at the beginning. After a while I think that stuff grows on you too, but at first I can see how it seems inert.

The only way it's relative sympathetic is that they're not just cursing his parentage for 20 mins. Getting into his sadsack need to dine at foofy NYC steakhouses while complaining about elites on the air as well as his compulsion to proof he's the alpha dog enough amongst his employees on an almost daily basis is just part of it. Not to mention his bragging about regular training sessions with Chuck Liddell.

eh, they favorably compare him to O'Reilly numerous times and say he'd be fun to go out drinking with. All the negative stuff was kind of a given.
― duped and used by my worst Miss U (President Keyes), Thursday, 19 January 2017 16:09 (seven years ago) link
Well, yeah, comparing to Oreilly kinda tilts it a bit.

i don't fuck with roleplaying games or table-top stuff but i finally got thru the most recent one and it was good for what it was. obv would appreciate it more if i was a fan of those games. if y'all are following them on twitter, they're already in DC reporting on the Inauguration. psyched for their live show.. tmrw?

new episode is great, one of their best imo, but about 50 min. the audio starts glitching and cutting out, FFS GUYS FIGURE THIS SHIT OUT

As befits the show, they found out last week while Periscoping the group reaction to the Inauguration.
