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.

Kick off the weekend with an update on stories we’re watching at The Bob Davis Podcasts. For one thing, a spring snow storm has dumped at least a foot of snow on the Twin Cities, which will completely screw up the commute for Friday, April 4th. With the worst winter in 100 years, Global Warming scientists are threatening to ‘go on strike’ and ‘march in the streets’. Really? The Met Council here in the Twin Cities has decided to screw the rich people in Kenwood, and around Cedar Lake, much to the chagrin of Minneapolis’ new Mayor, Betzy Hodges. What’s funny is, all these people supported LRT as long as it was destroying someone else’s neighborhood. Plus, find out who’s behind legalizing marijuana (hint; NOT the Koch brothers), beware the ‘Ring Of Fire’, NOW you understand why we should have let GM go bankrupt the old fashioned way, not with a government bail out, Iran’s new Ambassador to the UN is a … wait for it … terrorist, and more.

What stories are catching my attention this week? How do the ‘dots’ connect? What to look for, and I round up the top stories midweek. The conspiracy theorists are already filling the factual holes on the mysterious disappearance of Flight 370. Are you getting the right information to make informed decisions about what the US Foreign Policy should be with Russia and the Ukraine, or are you letting cable television ‘entertainment news’ shows do your thinking for you? What can today’s long term unemployed learn from 16 year old coders who are already making money? Are the Koch brothers really the biggest political contributors? (Not by a long shot). And one really angry story about a cat “with a history of violence”. Sponsored by Ryan Plumbing and Heating of Saint Paul.
