BTL #257 - In Id We Trust - 8/28/17

This week on BTL, we're back in the same room and ready to retrace the full saga of last week from Obama-pilfered Monday to insanity-laced Tuesday to Hurricane Friday. It was an exhausting beginning to a terrifying weekend filled with flooding, off-topic tweets, and resignations. Help us help you help everybody understand what on earth happened!

BTL #210 - Democratic Dancing - 8/1/16

This week on the podcast... Don't you want to have as much fun as Bill Clinton is having in this picture?  Then listen to us discuss the DNC and all that transpired behind the scenes on this week's podcast!  Plus, Trump's worst media week ever, and some nifty campaigning ideas for the progressives among us!

BTL #190 - The Fruit Salad of Life - 2/29/16

This week on an all-new BTL, Donald Trump's Nevada blowout saw him promising that he's going to bring us “so much everything” when he’s president.  If "everything" involves more of his accidental slam poetry, then we're in.  If it involves more racism, however, we're not.  Will update.  Plus, Thursday's GOP Debate was more bananas than ever and showed an emerging trend in the GOP field: campaigning exclusively via insult comedy.  (Policy proposals are so 2015.)  Also, anybody who’s anybody in whatever the opposite of MENSA is endorsed Donald Trump this week, Clinton had a BLOWOUT win in South Carolina,  and Super Tuesday is upon us!  (All signs point to Texas is proving once again that it can’t be trusted.)  Then there's the NY Times' sudden Clinton takedown, some intelligentsia speculation that for once isn't about Beyonce, and the newest kind of militia to look out for in the post-Bundy world: toddlers.  It's yet another week for the books and we have it all here!

BTL #187 - Disappointing Wins, Victorious Losses - 2/8/16

This week on BTL, literally everything happened.  The Iowa Caucuses!  A Democratic Debate!  A Republican Debate!  It was a bonanza of everything we love and hold dear.  We've got caucus results, polling heading into New Hampshire (it's on Tuesday!), and rampant speculation about South Carolina, plus, find our why we're totally over Chris Wallace, totally into DeRay McKesson, and totally pissed at Gloria Steinem.  And if all that wasn't enough, Sinkhole Radio is back!  What a whirlwind!

There is Only One Issue Worth Voting on in 2016

There is Only One Issue Worth Voting on in 2016

Here’s a bold declaration:  Despite the rancor accompanying this year's races and last year’s congressional session, there is only one issue worth voting on.  It’s a deceptively simple issue too; massively important, but, oddly, still one a vast majority of Americans agree on.

BTL #173 - Trump's Hat Plan - 10/19/15

There was finally a Democratic debate and we got our first (and hopefully last) look at Lincoln Chafee and Reagan bobblehead Jim Webb!  No Biden as of yet but don't worry, he's STILL thinking.  Still.  Plus, we finally agree with Ben Carson on something so we're a little shocked and confused about that.  And, we've got the lowdown on the the six GOP candidates that should probably just leave the race right this moment and one candidate who may or may not be using his potentially fake campaign as a cover for a new, very real, very boring clothing brand.  This plus Clinton news, Fox news, fundraising news, Twitter news and so much more!
