Throwback Thursday

There's a sit-in in the House, and the Emperor has no money. Seems like old times, except for the fact that we invited Twitter-famous Sonny Bunch to sit in for the traveling Peter Robinson. In addition to the fore-mentioned topics, in this completely Member Feed inspired show, the guys cover Gaius' post A Thought Experiment: Inspired by Sen. Rubio, Robert Zubrin's Campaign Launched to Free the Delegates, among others. Also, what's their most anticipated summer movie? The answer may surprise you.

Music from this week’s episode:

Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In by The Fifth Dimension

The correct response to "why don't you want blacks to go to college?" is:
"Why don't you want blacks to graduate from college?"

We already tried the figurehead President/Prime Minister model in recent years - the hapless but lovable Dubya on the kangaroo ticket, along with all of his daddy's staff, was supposed to provide an efficient administration while the Prez wasn't smart enough to lie to us like the loquacious Slick Willie. Unfortunately after a few years of "Is our childrens learning" Rumsfeld and Powell were at loggerheads and we needed a decider, not a checked out naif.

I wish you had given a little info about Sonny Bunch at the start. The name meant nothing to me. When it came up that he was with the Washington Free Beacon, then I had something to go on. Not everyone who's "Twitter famous" is famous.

About some of the summer movies:
Here's the only great summer movie you'll get: The nice guys!
Here's about the new Whit Stillman movie, which is indeed the most charming thing in theaters, possibly this entire year...
