Re: Podcasts

Running low on podcasts with all this time in the truck so looking for recs on good history or documentary podcasts. As an example I just finished The Big Dig and am a big fan of American Scandal and American History Tellers.

Re: Random Politics

Someone on twitter mentioned that if embryos are children does that mean each is a tax writeoff? And, if you’re transporting them, you should get to drive in the carpool/HOV lane! Didn’t a woman try to plead this? Yes and I think she won too though it was in Texas or some other Bible Belt state.

Re: NFL Conference Championships week

Because OT, RB and TE are clearly the same as punter and kicker.

(That said I do hope they draft a kicker in the late rounds this year. That seems to be working for a lot of teams. Going with practice squad castoffs isn’t cutting it.)

Scott Hutchinson had a meltdown at a Frightened Rabbit show in Vegas because of bad sound and ended the show after like 4 or 5 songs. To his credit he apologized at a future show when they were opening for Death Cab and had negotiated an extra 10-15 minutes for their set that night to make up for it.
