We’re up a day early with this week’s episode because of schedule problems, but mostly to get a drop on the streaming services with our new (un)reality TV show, “The Real Prosecutors of Atlanta,” starring Big Fani Willis. OMG, is this not the best television since last week’s Super Bowl?

Steve with his renegade and unauthorized martini.

Steve showed up, however, with a gin martini instead of peaty whisky, which drew a rebuke from You Know Who, who had three proper whiskies on hand for the episode.

But this episode isn’t all fun and giggles. We also rake up the ongoing immigration saga in Washington, complete now with an impeachment! And also analysis of Trump’s supposed attack on NATO and surrender to Putin, though some of us think this is another sign of Trump’s peculiar genius.

Finally, can we really be so lucky that a week later the Hur report is the gift that keeps on giving?

    I posit that two reasons why we in the United States are repeating the controlled experiments of socialism and free markets. 

    1. The youth no longer hear the first hand accounts of the people who lived under socialism or communism. This is at least in part a failure of the education system. But I remember as a kid in the 1960s and as I became an adult in the 1970s having many in person encounters with real-life people who had escaped from Soviet-controlled eastern European countries. My personal outlook was strongly influenced by a visit by my family in 1964 to Berlin, Germany, where I got to see socialism and free markets immediately side-by-side. People who seek to educate younger people should show those pictures and data. (My personal favorite would be to display two 1980s vintage cars next to each other – a Volkswagen Golf and a Trabant. 
    2. The arrogance of youth who engage in the self-deceit that the failures of the past were because “WE” weren’t there. “We are better than all those people of the past, so of course we’ll do it right this time.” Which demonstrates another failure to learn from the constancy of human nature throughout history.
