Rearranging the Deck Chairs

Britain is on its seventh prime minister since bidding adieu to the EU a decade back. There's news of once-unimaginable crimes and ethnic strife shaking once sleepy shires. Even model citizens like scholar-slash-philanthropist and casual world-class athlete Jason Arday are having a hard go of it. For the lowdown on the United Kingdom's political crisis, we're joined by our new pal, historian and commentator Dominic Green. Plus, the regular hosty blokes see plenty of problems on our side of the pond, especially after the DSA proves that they can win statewide primaries outside coastal enclaves. But there's always plenty to be cheery about in the land of opportunity, like DIY burritos, roaring roller coasters, and albums so familiar that you can spot the covers from miles away. Opening sound this week: Hasan Piker says, “(Screw) Black people!” James Carville says, “I may be outta here!” on Fox News, and UK MP Rupert Lowe says, “Everybody has to go!” Closing music: "God Save the Queen," by Ian Post (via MotionArray)
