Rosen enters the Twilight Lounge with an axe to grind: the city of San Francisco has taken his 32-gallon garbage and recycling cans and replaced them with an enormous recycling can and a tiny garbage can. Having quickly established that you can’t keep The Man off your back, he tries to steer the conversation toward … Continue reading Episode #178: More Gaza, tiny garbage cans →

Lots of questions this week: Is the “Jew coup” behind the impeachment hearings? We’re so busy running banking, the media and the weather, how would we have time? Is Amazon evil, or is it what we want? Are we overreacting about the Auschwitz Christmas ornaments? What is a “motivator?” Is Wal-Mart opening a store in … Continue reading Episode #228: Crocs are an abomination →
