3 Whisky Happy Hour

Freaks, Geeks, Leaks, and Ukrainamania

Subscribe to 3 Whisky Happy HourSubscribe

This week's raucous episode, recorded well after conventional happy hour ends, ranged from Biden's dementia to the failed Dobbs leak investigation, to Kevin McCarthy's (relatively) good week, the post hockey ergo propter hockey fallacy, bidding good riddance to one of the premier COVID cultists, a defense of cat-calling (even when it's done to our Lucretia), and then . . . a big fat argument about Ukraine.

The vigorous disagreements among our three barkeeps on this subject were flying fast and hard, and did we settle the issue? No, we did not!

Hosted by Steve Hayward, with guests JYJohn Yoo and "Lucretia"

    Great show!

    @StevenHayward has brought up Harrison Bergeron a few times now, interestingly enough it was John Marini who first recommended I read this. Remarkably prescient.

    I always enjoy the Clean Water At needling that @JohnYoo performs haha, but on a serious note, what is the likelihood that here or on Powerline U. we can go over these massive historic administrative state policies, break them down, highlight their effects/overreach, and (most importantly) propose any solutions (like repeal, modification, restriction) to them?

    Thanks again!

    We have in mind doing that subject at some point. And if you think John groans at the Clean Air Act, just wait till you hear him whine about the Administrative Procedure Act!
