Even with Rob out, we're glad to celebrate a great week for democracy! Our guests this week are old friends of ours, Mark and Mollie Hemingway, and they're here to take us through the irregularities of last November and why it doesn't have to be nefarious, illegal or fraudulent to call it "Rigged!"
Maybe somebody should write a book with that title. Well, maybe somebody has. (Rigged: How the Media, Big Tech, and the Democrats Seized Our Elections) We get into procedural foul play, institutional corruption and media malfeasance; not to mention fights over fish... They even have some hope that laying the groundwork for restoring democratic confidence might be slowly underway, and some thoughts on how to speed it up.
Our hosts also chat about a winsome week for Republicans; Peter is educated on milk discourse and James give clock changing as thorough a defense as it could hope for. Congratulations to our Braves fans!

Although, in the case of the 2020 election, it was in fact nefarious, illegal, and fraudulent. And stolen.

We need to fire the photoshop guy. I edited this show and then had to wait and wait and wait for him to get me artwork. The slacker.

Okay, @jameslileks, you win. I will no longer gripe about Daylight Saving Time.
