Laughing Through the Apocalypse
You have a better idea?

Oh Andrew, thank you! This cheesehead needed a laugh today!
Excellent.
Well said.
Great show. Thanks.
Ditto. Thanks for the “counsel against despair.”
At least I know I’ll continue to have plenty of laughs on the road to electoral darkness. It’s a daily treat listening to your podcast.
Now I understand why the Chinese slogan for the Olympics was so terrible. “One World one dream.” At first I hated it because it was so vacuous but after your take down of Imagine I can understand it in a better way. Firstly, it is Leninist. I have a dream and the world will have it and everybody who is inconvenient to that dream can go hang. To paraphrase Lenin, the dream is who and the world is whom.
Thankyou Klavan. This podcast helped advance my thinking.
Love the podcast but you are backpedaling on Trump. A few shows ago, you said we could suffer through Hillary and survive, whereas Trump was a menace to the republic. Now it sounds like you are considering all options, including maybe voting for him. Am I right? If so, isn’t this how bad guys win?
I really enjoyed this podcast. My husband came upstairs to see why I was laughing so hard! Very cathartic, and quite a good pep talk.
Thank you, Mr. Klaven.
We’re in such a difficult position right now, I think. People (like me) will probably spend months working out just what is the right path to take, and perhaps vacillate over this time. (I confess I would be having a similar struggle if Jeb had just won, although for different reasons).
I think the Trump supporters have so badly miscalculated about peoples’ negative reaction to their candidate. His supporters wanted to turn things over, and they really, really have. “Why can’t they BOTH lose”? is a reasonable question. But at some point, we’ll have to decide what to do, and how to move forward.
I rather like Klavan’s observation that not voting for anyone feels like righteousness but it might not be true and righteous altogether. It’s worth thinking about.
