I was sincerely hoping for the alternate title, Yeti.

Re: The Life of Pie
You have two different direct links. One is for episode 5 and the one for episode 6 doesn't seem to work.

Re: The Life of Pie
raycon and lindacon - I agree totally - I needs this podcast! And this is how we get the culture back, or at least look like non-squares. We have to be funny, light-hearted, unserious when we can, and mocking always. When I played the podcast that discussed Lucasfilms, my daughters paid attention and were quite interested in what "our" three had to say. It's vehicles like this that can get younger people involved in the conservative movement.

Re: The Life of Pie
In home office listening to podcast. While it is a forensic discussion of the failed election, it is also funny! We are actually laughing while doing our work here in home office central...

Re: The Life of Pie
Blame this loss predominantly on the wimpy RINO squishes who gave us a RINO squish nominee, who won the nomination only by default by splitting the conservative vote, and then ran a squish campaign: timid, risk-averse, ever unwilling to take a clear stand on anything lest he alienate someone somewhere about something.
Yes, Rob, I'm talking about you. Before burning anyone else, you should set your own hair on fire. You, Rob, were supremely confident the GOP finally had a nominee who wasn't a gaffe machine. You made that foolish misobservation about Romney after Romney had asked "Wanna bet $10,000?"
Romney didn't just make gaffes. Romney was a gaffe!
You, Rob, advocated the issue-avoiding "more-in-sorrow-than-in-anger" pitch. Romney's issue-free campaign consequently lost voters on almost every issue, including issues he should have won. There's nothing more cowardly than being afraid even to defend oneself!
Did you enjoy the campaign debate on Obamacare?
The guy selling himself as "jobs guy" couldn't do the job.
What's the opposite of momentum? Mittmentum!
The biggest mistake in politics is trying to avoid every single little mistake.

Re: The Life of Pie
Thank God you didn't choose Goldberg, Podhoretz, and Long, the acronym of which, GPL, is a far-left open-source license (that many of us in the open source world regret using; alas, it's hard to remove after the fact).

Re Podhoretz's comment that Romney ran the best campaign that he could have - maybe - but he should have gone full negative on Obama. Negative campaigning is ugly, divisive, and horrible to behold. But it works.

Re: The Life of Pie
I like GLOP. It is a perfect illustration of secondary meaning.

Re: The Life of Pie
More terrible audio quality from Jonah around 44:00 Hard to listen.
Re: The Life of Pie
Sorry about that. We did our best -- Jonah was on some bad wifi.

Re: The Life of Pie
Sweet Jesus, Podhoretz. You say Stevens is delusional and than say Romney ran the best campaign he could have run. Could he have run a campaign as..........NOT himself? I liked that WaPo editorial and summarized exactly what I was thinking. People complaining that he was a RINO? Exactly what country do you think we're living in? A moderate RINO was the only way we could make it even close. The people just re-elected Obama- a con man and an abject failure. Do you think running someone to his right from the primaries was the answer?
Do you think swing voters were thinking: "I'm pulling the lever for Obama but had the GOP only run Bachmann I'd be on THEIR team..." Most people aren't like us- either ideologically or intellectually. Blame the electorate and the media. Sorry, there's no magic bullet. One of these things will happen and they're largely out of our control: 1] Dem ideas are correct & the economy will robustly recover. 2] Dem ideas will fail, the media and they will blame GOP obstructionism and Dems will win again. 3] The GOP will reap the gains of Dem failure.

Re: The Life of Pie
I finally realized, listening to this podcast, that Rob Long might be the first ever RINO Country Club Squish Jacobin.
