- Were the Benghazi hearings a bust for the right?
- Is Trump's super power that he's impervious to all gaffes?
- Would you go back in time and kill the baby Hitler?
- Who's the real villain in Star Wars, the Empire or the Jedi?
- And a mini review of the hit Broadway show Hamilton (the closing tune to this podcast is the show's You'll Be Back ).

"Would you kill baby Hitler?"
Nah. I'd kidnap him and adopt him out to an Orthodox Jewish family.

Very very disappointed by the Three making sport of Ben Carson for advocating bravery. What squishes. Carson's life history of working up from urban poverty shows remarkable courage. Carson's profession, too; a brain surgeon shows more courage in a day than most of us do in the course of a year; it is not easy to to cut into a living brain, to make someone better at such risk. He knows from his work what his limits are. Carson's faith supports his words as we Christians do not lose in death, even as we love earthly life. And Carson's indifference to political niceness, his even-tempered assault on B Hussein Obama at the National Prayer breakfast, his willingness to say the forbidden obvious, all of these are the mark of a brave man.
Instead of taking cheap shots at a man who has accomplished so much from so little, a man of such integrity and courage, they might acknowledge that yes, striking out against a shooter can be successful, as it has been many times. And they might encourage such behavior rather than dismissing it summarily.
You've lost a big point with me, laddies. Upper West side weenies.
