For the last podcast of the year, Steve, Charles and Rob pull out all the stops to grab the attention of podcast listeners worldwide: some theology here, a little healthcare debate there, and a few notes on Congress' gargantuan Christmas list. Plus, there's the WSJ write-up on the efforts to conceal Joe Biden's decline, Kirsten Gillibrand's ERA absurdity, and some insights from Rob on how show-biz will be forced to come to its senses.

The political discussion was, as always, thought-provoking and insightful, but I have to say I particularly enjoyed the theological discussion at the beginning of the show. I would love to hear more about Rob's studies, and Charlie's frank discussion of his own views of religion/faith were fascinating.

The good news for Charlie is that his level of personal faith still qualifies him to be the Archbishop of Canterbury.

I was delighted to hear Rob Long point out that the idea we spend too much on healthcare is nuts. I was in a Master's of Public Health program at UC Berkeley (in the mid 80's) and listened to the then Dean of the School, Warren Winklestein, say "Where is it written that 15% is too much to spend on healthcare?" We are a wealthy people; if our basic needs leave us with "left-over money," why should we not spend it on our health?
