Presidential Deathmatch

For the first time Aaron can't find anything about a candidate! Who was Robert Colvin Macauley? The world may never know, but what we do know is what he stood for, and that's something Aaron accidentally knew about before he started an impromptu recording! 

We also throw Howard Phillips of the US Taxpayer (now Constitution) Party in there for good measure.

Still in the midst of our not-quite-a-break comes the story of what may be the greatest political comeback in American history. The story of Charles Evans Hughes as inspired by Sarah Palin's decision to jump into the open Alaskan house seat race.

Aaron wishes he had a team of friends like the Supreme Court as he flies solo again this week. Taking inspiration from the recent Court Vacancy he talks about the guy who started it all: Oliver Ellsworth, the founding father behind the scenes doing the difficult work of actually writing the laws that formed the judicary of these United States.

This episode has it all- except Dennis, so it basically has nothing. 

We revisit the Prohibition Party for a look at death theft, historically black colleges, and too much violence against women. It's not a particularly cheery episode this time around, but it is terribly interesting (and I do mean terribly.)

This episode gets a little punchy, but what else would you expect when discussing a cut-up like Walter Mondale? 

The fellows talk about being a journalist, the value of being disliked, and whether Alabama or Ohio is more hostile to anti-slavery rhetoric. Also everyone in America sounds like a Dickensian lord for inscrutable reasons. It's very much what you've come to expect.

Dennis and Aaron are both in the midst of looking for new occupations and so they convene to discuss which presidential candidate they think would handle the rigors of selling themselves the best. Will it be the man who would later reincarnate into Bernie Sanders Eugene V. Debs or the marzipan-smooth lovable gadfly Mitt Romney?

Presidential Death Match is going to skulk around the edges for a few weeks as we take a strategic pause on fully produced episodes. Still, we hope to bring you a few shorter stories from history like today's about John Walker a man so unknown that there is no confirmed picture of him I could find. 

John Walker was the second presidential nominee of the rebirth of the Anti-masonic party and through him we question changing values and the human desire to pin blame on the secretive other!

In an episode that's coming to you live from whenever and whereever you listen to it we decide to talk about a distinctly Texan culinary treat: the kolache. Along the way learn about silent film stars, The Libertarian party of 2004, and one of the many Bells that make up American life.

Riley Smith manages to make it through an episode without swearing! Has she been replaced by a doppelganger or merely sold out for commercial success? Either way we're happy to have her. 

The merry trio nominally discuss antiheroes while also miring themselves in apologizing, loony tunes, and a scofflaws. "A Feast for the Senses"! A person could say of it, probably. 

Riley's written a book! Cadinal (book 1/20 of the Citadel series) available now at Amazon, share and enjoy.

After a quick topic refocus Aaron and Dennis dive into discussing the useful and not-useful aspects of the charm of politicians. Why do we like it, where is it necessary, and who would we pick to lead us if we focused on principles and heurestics instead of the personal touch?
