It's time for California's close-up...and from this right angle the view is not flattering.  Join the Blues for a look at some of the right-wing crazies the Golden State has wretched up this month including an antivaxxer in Huntington, wannabe coupists in Redding, and an apparent NRA pitchman with a lifetime appointment to the  federal bench in San Diego. Plus, fun with Memorial Day tweets featuring an elusive 2nd-degree burn.

This holiday weekend is as good an opportunity as any to memorialize some of the more shameful chapters in American history--some more recent than others. Also, we talk a little about karma--not only the receipt of, but a particularly odorous way to pay it forward...

It's "Must-Listen Podcasting" time as we veer into PSA territory with an episode so super-sized, we had to bring in a special guest host. 

Join us as we air our grievances against Anthony Bouchard, the CDC, MTG, HIPAA, QAnon, Mike Gallagher, and Ricky Schroeder. Not that there's anything wrong with that... 

This week we're talking about the irresponsibility of certain more famous podcasters, Ted Cruz's staged break up with corporate America, and yet another Republican politician getting chewed up by the Big Lie.

Plus, we discuss the unceremonious exit of a legend, and consider the possibilities of a route from Oaktown to Stumptown. 

We asked the 4/20 fairy for a guilty verdict and she did not disappoint. We'll talk about the Chauvin verdict, even more police shootings of black youth, false pretexts for harassing marginalized groups, a punitive approach toward homelessness in Oregon, a potential new "mad man" strain of the 'rona in Michigan, and the (possibly fake?) connection between AOC and the CHP.

We're taking a deep dive into everything you never wanted to know about Matt (Rick?) Gaetz, and his sordid past helps explain his rocky present. Is he a literal swamp monster or is he just a minor threat? Then we step up to the plate to take swings at Montana's governor, anti-vaxxers, voter suppression laws, and Addison Mitchell McConnell's shameless pitch to corporate America: "leave the money on the counter and get out." Plus, our 2021 MLB preview. All on deck on this week's Blues.

Get your brackets ready as we take a look at the most asinine drivel to ooze out of the right wing this week. We'll also dunk on the 2nd Amendment, the Georgia state legislature, and the foulest mess to come dribbling out of Kent State since the Ohio National Guard. We're leaving nothing out on the court in this week's edition of the Blues.

Fox remembered that Gen X existed long enough to request backup in their culture war. Whatever. Gen X remembers your cancel culture goes back decades. Also, we take time to eviscerate anti-Asian racism, MTG's grasp of geography, and Rand Paul's "maskterpiece theater." Plus, a very special bonus deep dive into the dark recesses of the right wing psyche.  

It's your St. Patrick's Day episode and we salute the Irish while reminding nativist scum to kindly bugger off. Also, Meghan marks the royals, a year in the life of Covid, believable conspiracy theories, the diverging fortunes of four state governors, and Boebert family values put on blast. All on a very green edition of the Blues!

The folks over at Fox must have a screw loose for they actually believe that we've canceled Doc Seuss. We mock them, we goad them, and do it while drinking. While rueing Greg Abbott's neanderthal thinking. We then share our thoughts 'bout a stimulus so pivotal that was rendered less potent by Manchin and Sinema. And even find time to break off some news. All here on this week's new batch of the Blues.
