After a week off in which I got to see my alma mater Mercer University become America’s sweethearts, I’m back with another brand new podcast this week!

At least one evangelical leader is figuring out how social conservatives should be addressing gay marriage: by accepting its inevitability and fighting to protect religious liberty. This is what the GOP should be doing, but as long as you have idiots like Suckabee and Santorum being taken seriously that probably won’t happen, and the Republicans will continue to lose elections over this and their obsession with abortion. A new study shows that marriage is good for the heart, so why can’t more people join in?
Here is a playbook on how the Republicans can win the War on Women. First rule is don’t have men talk about birth control. How hard is that? Another thing that the GOP can touch on is the fact that Democrats have a big problem with married women. In a real war on women, Brazilians say that women in revealing clothes deserve their rapes.
Daniel Henninger of the Wall Street Journal asks: why can’t the left govern? In short, it’s because they don’t want to govern competently, they just want to centralize power. Of course, Obama never wanted to govern, simply to rule. This is pretty much what we should have expected from this administration.
The narcissist-in-chief visited the Pope, and gave him a gift of a box of seeds from the White House garden. What a joke he is.
While Russia is sending troops to the Ukrainian border, the Obama State Department is sending selfies and calling Russia a weak “regional power.” What a joke this whole administration is.
Another factor in the centralization of power by politicians is their corruption, and it has been a big week for political corruption, with Democrat politicians being arrested for gun smuggling, taking bribes, improper use of state funds, and possession of child pornography. Harry Reid has made payments of about $31,000 to his adult granddaughter from his campaign fund.
Was the BridgeGate scandal caused by a hormonal woman getting over a bad breakup? Hell hath no fury…
Influential Republicans (you know, the same people who gave us Mitt Romney, John McCain, and Bob Dole) are trying to push Jeb Bush for the 2016 Presidential race. I can already see how this turns out. A current poll shows Rand Paul and Mike Suckabee tied for the lead of potential candidates, with Bush just behind.
The NSA can (and, I guarantee you, is) using your phone metadata to predict your personality.
Fatal self-defense shootings are rising in Detroit. This is a very good thing, for a few reasons, not the least of which is the fact that metro Detroit gangs are recruiting elementary schoolers.
A 6th grader has found a very simple way for government to save $400 million per year. It’s so simple, there’s no way that they’ll ever do it.
Prosecutors are trying to find a couple who are living on a yacht who had been on welfare for years while living a lavish lifestyle. The fault here lies with the system that is eager to write checks to perpetuate itself rather than to help people.
The EPA is still trying to regulate cow farts.
Parents of a high school baseball team in Canton, Michigan raised money to buy new bleachers for the baseball field at Plymouth High School there. Now the new bleachers have to be torn down because not only are they nicer than at the girls’ softball field, but also because they apparently were not sufficiently handicap-accessible. This is completely asinine.
Two Christofascist state senators in South Carolina blocked a third grader’s proposal to create a state fossil because of some creationist nonsense. This is part of the reason that I support repealing the 17th Amendment. Maybe if the state legislators actually did something worthwhile people would pay attention to who represented them and didn’t just elect some idiot like they do now.
Northwestern University football players have been given the go-ahead to form a labor union. Meanwhile, athletes at the University of North Carolina can’t read.
Kobe Bryant has received the left’s wrath after saying that he doesn’t believe in supporting somebody over their skin color. Institutionalized race bias is part and parcel of the left’s ideology now.
A firefighter was arrested while trying to save a woman’s life because a police officer didn’t like where he had parked his fire truck.
A virus is spreading through the United States’ pig population, forcing up prices of all pork products, including bacon.
Taco Bell has started serving breakfast at its stores, so McDonald’s is now offering free coffee. The free market is good for all of us when we let it work.
Diet drinks are now being linked to heart disease and death. “The science is settled.”
A South Carolina man is accused of hitting his girlfriend with a workbook from his anger management program. I don’t think his program is working.
Amy Winehouse may be coming back…as a hologram.
Your teenager may be smoking coffee. Idiocracy.
A woman tried to set her ex’s house on fire using bacon. Sadly, the bacon was ruined.
This Week’s Sign of the Decline of Western Civilization: People are beginning to contract tuberculosis from their pets. When our pets are turning on us…
