We pause to examine, from as generic Point-of-view as possible, the state of politics in the good ol' USA. What does it mean to be an American? How can we rise above partisanship? Why don't more people acknowledge the superiority of the Italian people? Important questions like that! We've got a great, if imperfect, country here, people. Let's not allow them to pit us against each other so they can get richer and more powerful as the screw it up. We also briefly chat about John Lennon and Irish desserts. How's that for a change of pace?
