85 - Hog Lagoon


Listen Later

This week we’re playing catch up on some happenings in the news--the freezing conditions in Texas that have led to horrendous prison conditions and skyrocketing energy costs, as well as the abysmal mismanagement of the Biden stimulus package and general incompetence of the democrats. But hey, at least Rush Limbaugh is dead.

“Limbaugh loosed a dark and ichorous ooze of anger and resentment into our political groundwater, one that has polluted American politics and culture. His legacy is a civic Superfund site, an untreated hog lagoon that continues to spill its poison into the cracks in our democratic foundation.”
