Actually, I was listening to them in reverse order (because Itunes), and I skipped back to the initial Caleb episode after hearing "Candyman IV: Curse of Caleb". I had to know what the backstory was.

From my sheltered perspective it's a bit surreal to hear audio versions of internet jokes that I would usually only encounter whilst perusing the hallowed halls of the SA Forums. I don't know if this means that I'm an old guy that only learns about internet jokes from SA or if is in fact SA doing the leaking. Presently I suspect it's a little of both.

Pac-Manioc Root posted:Friends, I Google has not been instructive on the provenience and meaning of "Lanyard/Landyard Liberal." I'm kind of getting a nebulous idea from context but wondering where it came from and what specifically it's poking fun at. Please help me out, so that I may more deeply enjoy the fellahs. THanks in advance. Whenever I hear lanyard, I can't help but think of veep.

prefect posted:At many events, you need some sort of credentials to get in, and many people wear them on lanyards. Not just events. At a lot of think tank and government, especially defense, contractor jobs they are worn while at work. I was at a place for a bit where security would escort you out if you accidentally took off your lanyard and walked around the building.

Jonas Albrecht posted:Holy poo poo, "As the south got less racist, it got more Republican". I'll ask this here: that book mentions John Birch Society founder Robert Welch once wrote, among other insane poo poo, an allegorical novel about a society of intelligent ants ruined by collectivism. Does that book exist anywhere? Also WHY WOULD YOU PICK A SPECIES OF INSECT WELL-KNOWN FOR EXISTING IN REGIMENTED COLONIES ENTIRELY SUBSERVIENT TO A SINGLE QUEEN AS YOUR METAPHOR FOR INDIVIDUALISM?

Those perlstein books are genuinely great. Nixonland is a great help in understanding contemporary US politics (and how liberals are still losing for the same reasons after 40 years)

Nixonland was also really good at portraying Nixon as a pathetically insecure, sad little man, desperate for respect and power. He was almost kind of pitiful, if it weren't for the overwhelming evil and whatnot.

He was almost kind of pitiful, if it weren't for the overwhelming evil and whatnot. yea Nixon is a guy who I could almost feel bad for if he wasn't, ya know, an avatar of genuine evil on the face of the world. Trump's the same way really. Abusive dad clearly left some hosed up scars with him, what with so much of his persona is trying to both be all 'I can be a normal guy still I swear I'm just like you' and try to force the old money crowd to like him by buying poo poo without ever understanding that he's the perfect embodiment of every old money stereotype of 'new money trash'. Like, he so clearly just wants someone to like him that he's trying to show off to two very widely different groups. That's something that should be sad but...nah because he's such a lovely person despite it.

GalacticAcid posted:god drat dinesh d'souza is such a worm they mentioned the Obama movie but I forgot if they did a proper episode like this on it. If not they really need to because it's even worse. Like they said at the very least even a complete fuckup like Dinesh can actually point to lovely things the Clintons did and call it an example of corruption and it not be wrong. The Obama one is purely 'his dad hated the empire, which means HE hates the empire, which means he hates all white people which means he wants to destroy America just out of spite!!!'
