"And now, to give us a balanced look at recent events, Cokie Roberts is going to be talking to David Brooks and Jonah Goldberg."

Today they had John Yoo on to talk about the Trump administration's fight with the Congress over Trump's executive privilege claims.

Absolutely zero mention of his Bush-era role as the author of the torture memos and related fuckery.

Thanks for rehabilitating him, NPR

All things considered? No they did in the intro just didn't confront him at all, bring it up in the interview or in any way signal he might be on shakey ground when it comes to talking about executive power since he was willing to go on record saying 'tromp might be bad'

And by 'bad' he meant 'goes overboard so much on exec. privilege claims it might limit a future administration'.

Jian Ghomeshi is crazy, stuck up rear end in a top hat and it's nice to hear Billy give him poo poo. This was a good 10 years before we Ghomeshi's min controversy.

e: NM, my question got answered.

There have been many responses to (derisive voice) Trump’s Trade War. But one you may not have heard about, (insanely smug voice) comes from the donkeys! The donkey trade in (voice immediately sounds like a white woman impersonating Speedy Gonzalez) Tee-hah-hoooanya, Meh-heeee-koh (tumbleweed rolls by, Mariachi guitar strum)

Jesus, even when I agree with some of the editorial lines seeping out of the news the smarmy tone just ruins it.

Ari Shapiro is the smarmiest host that ever smarmed

Today's report on the world of competition spelling competition spelling, :wtf: talked about a high-pressure, high-stakes environment for young children and did so in that annoying sing-song "gosh, there might be some concerns here but NAH" voice that makes me want to burn my tote bag.

I feel like I suddenly know how to play polo.

Actually, you're some Irish guest commentator they wheel out for the World Cup.

Retro Cocktail Hour is still on and it’s still fantastic. He’s very fond of dipping into the (many) soundtracks from Cowboy Bebop

In fact everyone in this thread should listen to RCH right drat now

Goddamn, I love this poo poo. There was a similar show on WRAS (I think) in Atlanta called Martinis Con Queso. When my wife and I would be driving to her lovely job as a manager at a Hancock Fabrics (where I was the only male employee...I came in on Saturdays to help out...long story) we would listen to it and loved it.

PS: Retro Cocktail Hour show archive available here.

From Marketplace this morning: "There's Hot Yoga...why not Hot Economics?"

Never have I turned off the radio so quickly.

Great article. Wish they'd reboot the show...maybe have Mr. Regular from Regular Car Reviews and one of his mechanic friends host.
