Brainless

This week, we discuss a bevy of not so smart moments (including one from the producer of this show -- more about that in a moment), from the former governor of a large western state, to Ferguson, Missouri, a really stupid salute, the current foreign and climate policies of a large western super power, and pervasive attitudes by large swaths of the population. Luckily, we're blessed with a super smart guest this week: the Wall Street Journal's Jason Riley, who's book Please Stop Helping Us: How Liberals Make It Harder for Blacks to Succeed is eerily prescient of the events this past summer.

Oh, and about that stupid moment having to do with this post? We asked the great EJHill to do the wrong Photoshop! It should have been of the guys saluting. D'oh!
