Do you dream about the end of world? Have you ever? Are you optimistic about the future of the world, or filling the bomb shelter with canned food, buying 80 pounds of rice and preparing for the end times? A late night ‘bonsai’ fire, for a podcast planned to update the week’s news story lines, goes ‘off the rails’, but in a good way. And, you still get updated. How the media played two different economic news stories last week (one good news, sorta, and one bad news, for real), Thomas Friedman wastes a thousand words in the New York Times to tell us it’s not Obama’s fault, again. Russian TU-160’s over Crimea while Ukrainians say it’s war. Plus, when laying in wait to kill someone isn’t 1st degree murder but ‘Stand Your Ground’. Really? And Detroit’s Civilian Militia.

A live podcast from the West Metro Tea Party meeting. Inequality will be the cornerstone of the Democratic strategy to hold the line – or pick up seats – in the US Senate. Their success means making you think there is a problem named inequality, and that government can solve it. What are the conclusions of scholars claiming inequality is a ‘terrifying’ problem for the future? Is the United States an Oligarchy? How does a person get rich and stay rich? Finally, if you want to have an impact, you’re going to have to stop talking about it, and start working on building organizations to win elections. Sponsored by Ryan Plumbing and Heating of Saint Paul.
