We have an old narrative, an untold narrative and a shifting narrative to discuss this evening. There’s also some history and a little bit of I-told-you-so.
Always Safe and Effective
We cover a potential deterrent to corruption, a report of corruption, a report of not-officially-corruption and then, in a sense, some more corruption.
Bad Boys
We assess Kirby’s statements about disciplining the people responsible for the Afghan family drone bombing. We, also, talk about patriotism and its relation to the news item of the year. We close with a discussion of holiday traffic stops and an impromptu debate between the hosts. Merry Christmas, everyone!
Nu-Coup
We start with more fantasy sports than you probably want, but we transition to two more big, quiet trials that are finishing. We discuss US rivals and the current saber-rattling; and we finish with Assange, Manning, Kiriakou, Hale and all the other whistleblowers for government crime and corruption prosecuted by the US government, while the criminals go free.
