"We have returned after a brief gratitude and bird-related holiday hiatus," says James Lileks, and indeed we are. This week, Ferguson, Staten Island, and the grand jury system. Then, author William Voegeli stops by to discuss his new book The Pity Party: A Mean-Spirited Diatribe Against Liberal Compassion. Later, Ricochet member Vicryl Contessa asks the musical question "what's your favorite scotch?" and the men of the Ricochet Podcast rally to the cause.

Music from this week’s episode:

Let The Whiskey Take The Reins by Old 97's

The opening sequence for the Ricochet Podcast was composed and produced by James Lileks.

Bottoms up, EJHill!
