John McCain died and everyone was talking about it, and him for nearly a week (which may as well be a year in the attention span of modern society). In this Rectable session the crew figured they'd hash it out and see where they all stood.

In this episode Cory talked to Jason Noblet about that dirty word, socialism. It was informative and interesting to learn some things that I didn't really have parsed out on my own. Then I finally get around to doing some feedback from the past few weeks. I hope you all enjoy the interview.
