It’s another podcast in which we talk about the ongoing and likely soon to be escalating war in Israel, the ongoing failure of Republicans to run their majority in the House, and we hear about Abe’s latest extravagant someone-else’s-birthday vacation. Listen, if you must! Has something we said, or failed to say, made you FEEL something? You can tell us all about it on Facebook or Twitter, leave a comment on the show’s page on our website, or you can send us an email here. Enjoy!
