Sometimes, people ask why we wait until Friday afternoons to publish the podcast. The last couple of weeks should answer that question for at least a while. We're lucky to have a full contingent of quality guests this week to help us sort through all the outrage, er, news that has accumulated since last week's show. First up, Ricochet's own Bethany Mandel who has a few opinions on the Kavanaugh confirmation process. Then, one of our favs: the great Andy Ferguson, who's been doing some reading and some thinking about all things Trump. Also, courtesy of Rob Long, an insiders view of the Yale grapevine. Suffice to say, Buffy and Biff are upset.

(H/t to Seth Mandel for the title of this week's episode).

Music from this week's show: Freddie Freeloader by Miles Davis

    I believe the "prone" comment was by Stokley Carmichael of SNCC.

    Stokely, now there's a name I haven't heard since "Serial" starring Martin Mull and Tuesday Weld.

    @PeterRobinson is wrong again. The 49 democrats don't really believe Brett Kavanaugh is guilty. They believe he's a Republican/conservative. And that's all it took. Remember, they announced they would vote against him, in some cases even before Trump had selected a name!

    The side show of allegations etc, was really just to give themselves some kind of cover or justification.

    Hello from the same deep blue state Peter lives in. Reporting in from the front lines, let me tell you that they think he's he's guilty. They're SURE of it.
