This week, we turn our attentions across the pond and call on the endlessly entertaining and insightful James Delingpole to walk us through the intricacies of today's elections in Great Britain as only he can. But that's not all, we also cover the Texas shootings, the latest Presidential aspirants, Brady's Ball-Ghazi (yes, a rare Ricochet Podcast sports topic), and if you live in Iowa or New Hampshire, Rob Long wants YOU! Do your duty, people.

Music from this week’s episode:

Hateful by The Clash

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

    Texas v. Johnson (which by the way is over 25 years old -- you gentlemen are dating yourselves) is quite possibly the moment I became a conservative.

    Just curious if there was a moment when the BBC went overtly leftist. I used to listen to World Service and Radio 4 in the early 90's and don't remember it being like that. Did I change or did the Beeb, mostly?

    Well, the point is that PM Cameron can win. He might not be anything Mr. Delingpole could love, like or respect, but politics does not seem to require any of that.

    Sorry Rob, I think James Lileks correctly predicted the 2016 Republican ticket: Perry-Fiorina. Rick has just been laying in the weeds waiting for the right time to announce. And he will play the military card. Listen to his comments on Operation Jade Helm (about 30 seconds in). And I agree with Peter--anyone who adds Avik Roy as an advisor is no dummy.
