This week, we take something of a break from the rough and tumble of the news cycle and spend an hour chatting with our old friend, the great Harry Shearer (hit this link if you are one of the few unfamiliar with his work). We stalk some politics, we talk some media, we talk about Nixon (you must see Harry's one man show Nixon's The One immediately), we talk about comedy. Oh, just listen. You'll love it.
Music from this week’s podcast: Hell Hole by Spinal Tap
The all new opening sequence for the Ricochet Podcast was composed and produced by James Lileks.

To avoid confusion, it perhaps should be called "Another One with Harry Shearer, One of Many, and That's a Good Thing".
(And @jameslileks , I know you don't care about the sports, but what do you think readers of the Star Tribune will think of you wearing a Yankees jersey?)

I think that's the best explanation of Trump Ive heard. He's Al Czervik (Rodney Dangerfield's character in Caddyshack), he could also be Willy Loman - they havent re-written the play, the play isnt over yet. I also agree that's the connection between the billionaire and the lower and middle class of say - Wisconsin, so completely ignored by the liberal elite that their presidential candidate didnt even bother to campaign there.
Nixon's reputation rehab was called "Project Wizard" ... I googled it...

He looks like a .300 hitter to this Indians fan.
