This week on the podcast, we recap last night's Democratic debate with the help of guests Byron York from the Washington Examiner and Hoover's (and Ricochet's) Bill Whalen. Who won, who lost, who will never be heard from again, and who we wish would just go away.

Also, Lileks reviews The Martian, and Long reviews Hamilton, the hot new Broadway musical. Spoiler alert: both are raves.

Music from this week’s episode:

Wannabe by The Spice Girls

    SPICE GIRLS!? There are no words for this treason. Shame, shame, shame.

    To add to Whalens' solid point: "Imagine her having to do this 5 more times..." Imagine her having to do this 3x against a strong Republican (CARLY) instead of her weak Democratic opponents?

    Her 'opponents' may have made her the media 'winner', but didn't do her any favors. Anderson Cooper was stronger against Hillary than the rest of the dais.

    Oh, that was such a worry. Rob raves rap musical Hamilton, and then almost immediately the show ends with a rappish-song which I assumed must be from Hamilton. Except that the saccharine sickening lyrics and arrangement and tune would alone have led to 0.5 star reviews for the musical.

    It's not from Hamilton, it's the Spice Girls commenting on the presumptive Democratic nominee for President.
