It's a podcast about big things today! Our guest is Josh Rogin, author of Chaos Under Heaven: Trump, Xi, and the Battle for the Twenty-First Century. He takes us through our predicament with that big, menacing foe in the Far East; and warns against the current American tendency to allow the conflict with China to become another stage for political squabbling amongst ourselves. He and the hosts contemplate and debate the extent to which Cold War parallels are precise and our thinking ought be revised. The fellas also get into big spending and the progressive distaste for majorities, big or small.

I suspect that I will not read the book. Let's see what happens in the podcast!

Mostly I don't get why people and radio stations play "Africa" by Weezer instead of Toto, or why anyone would want to hear "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" by Weezer instead of Tears For Fears. (Maybe some people figure Tears For Fears got enough money already since Dennis Miller used it as the opening for his HBO show for years. But Weezer seems to be doing okay too, without copying other bands.)
Worst offender of all, though, is some idiot who goes by "P.M. Dawn" and ripped apart "True" by Spandau Ballet into something he claims is "his."

Wow. Didn’t even know Weezer had re-done these.
