Episode 187: Narrative and Counter

The political maneuvering for 2012 has begun in earnest already and, while much of it is "status quo" there seems to be a lot going on from both sides of the aisle to define and counter-define the opposition and the issues.

Tonight's recording has some technical issues - mainly caused by the fact that I'm recording on a less than optimal Internet connection.  There's still lots of good items talked about!  One link not included in the show notes is the history of the debt ceiling, as found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:US_Public_Debt_Ceiling_Trillions.png.  Our Conservative Minute was provided by Stefan Bartelski, host of the Patriot Come Lately podcast.
