It’s that time again! Our CA Prop Guide is here! It covers all seven state-wide props with our usual mix of panache and…mild irritation. Feel free to share this guide far and wide because, look, nobody has time to research all the motherf*ing props this state throws at us.

Meet the (Third Party) Candidates: Jill Stein

Green party candidate for president Jill Stein.  Democrats believe she’s the Yoko Ono of the presidential race.  Donald Trump believes she’s...yet another faceless disgusting woman who probably has periods.  Both major parties would like you to think she’s some sort of dreadlock-y hippie that isn’t worth your time.  If corporate shills and/or flat out insane people aren’t your cup of tea, join us as we meet our first of the two major third party candidates and dive a little deeper into this thing called democracy!

BTL #184 - #HillaryPillory, The Movement - 1/18/16

Join us this week on BTL as we discuss where our medium tolerance of the idea of maybe voting for Hillary Clinton in the general met it's natural end. Misrepresenting corporate ties was one (bad) thing, but misrepresenting single-payer healthcare and Bernie Sander's (superior) health platform is where we draw the line. We're legit not having her in any way shape or form! Come for the rage, stay for our rundowns of the rest of this action-packed week: Tuesday's State of the Union, Thursday's GOP Debate, Sunday's Dem Debate, and the latest on Iran followed by our coverage of the infuriating/criminal Flint, MI water situation.  The episode is long but worth it!

BTL #174 - Politically Suicidal - 10/26/15

This week on the podcast, after 11 hours of Benghazi questioning, Hillary Clinton proves she has the stamina of a champion filibusterer.  Too bad we didn't know this while she was in the Senate!  And if this week wasn't already good enough week for her campaign, two Democratic contestants and one would-be contestant dropped out!  Bye Linc!  Plus, sorry Jeb!, it turns out that all the money in the world can’t buy you...money for your campaign.  All this plus Ben Carson and the confusing logic of the Iowa electorate, Paul Ryan's forthcoming political suicide, and a walk down memory lane with family values and prostitute lover David Vitter!

2016 Contenders on the Issues: An Incomplete List of Comments on Women

It's gotten so hard to keep everybody's insensitive comments about women straight, so we here at BTL decided to put together a handy-dandy list of insane quotes to remind us all about who said what.

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!

Meet The Candidates #1 - A Lightning Bolt of Romance: The Jeb Bush Story

Our first "meet the candidates" post!  Today, the curious case of Jeb(!) Bush, a man who many in the media still consider a “frontrunner” due to his campaign’s massive war chest.  This “frontrunner” moniker is curious, however, considering that he’s polling in single digits and is not even the most popular GOP candidate from Florida, but we digress.  Let’s get to know him better anyway.  Here, for your reading pleasure, is the story of Jeb! Bush, the forever-second-place Bush brother...
