This week's special, ad-free edition of the 3WHH was recorded in live webinar format with about 80 of our most loyal listeners tuning in and heckling us MST3K style (IYKYK) in the chat room, but for a holiday episode it partook more of Judgment Day at times, we as reckoned with some lingering issues from our Cage Match about J6 and the Ukraine War two weeks ago, along with a thoroughly judgmental detour into "Lookism." Steve, in particular, recalls Taki's old case from the 1980s that Jane Fonda was the ugliest woman in America, while we reveal Lucretia's guilty secret that she in fact once owned the Jane Fonda Workout video from that glorious era.
But if the judgment of our three bartenders remains divided, we are unanimous in scorn for the Colorado Supreme Court, who somehow think that safeguarding us from "threat to democracy" requires preventing political parties from choosing their nominees, and since when did Orwell don judicial robes?

On the Ted Stevens case, he was prosecuted, and found guilty, when George W Bush was in office. The DOJ did an internal investigation and found extensive prosecutional misconduct in the case, which Stevens was expected to bring up on appeal. It was Obama's justice department that decided to drop the case, and put in a motion to void the motion which was granted by the court.
Frankly, while I'm sympathetic towards Stevens and how he was treated at his corruption trial, he did enter the U.S. Senate not a rich man, and left as a rich man. Whether it was legal or not, he used his position to enrich himself.

On U.S. Military members using SNAP (food stamps).
The report, based on 2018 data is not limited to SNAP.
Basically, military members E6 and below with a family, and with a spouse who isn't working or has a low income job, probably will be eligable for public assistance of some kind.
Not that that has anything to do with whether we should provide assistance to Ukraine or not. We should be addressing the pay problem regardless.

The WSJ ran a column the other day about a (fictional/hypothetical) Californian who wakes up after four years in a coma and is astounded by how much things have changed in the country in just that short time. I think the same story could be written about a TWHH listener who awakens after four *weeks* in a coma and hears Lucretia praising John Fetterman.

I've seen a couple theories as to why Senator Fetterman is making sense lately. One, this is what happens when you make him wear a suit. Two, we haven't seen or heard from his wife lately and maybe her influences are weakening.

Two very plausible theories, Bishop. I also personally know some people who were in line with the leftist/woke agenda until they were jolted back to reality by 10/7. Seeing the kids on campuses cheering on terrorists, they said, "Wait a minute, I didn't sign up for this," and re-examined their beliefs. There could be some of that in Fetterman's (I hope permanent) conversion to clear thinking. In any event, it has certainly been one of the starkest turnarounds I have witnessed in 50+ years of following politics.
