First show of 2017, people. This week, we've got Powerline's Steve hayward sitting in for the TV-making Rob Long, we've got Russians hacking, we've got Republicans repealing, we've got Lileks segueing, and we've got Avik Roy ACA-plaining. Really, what more could you want? OPhm, right -- yep, we've got some Ricochet Member Feed posts too, and a little tribute to Carrie and Debbie. Thanks for everything, ladies.
