By Sean P. McKelvey As the celebration of our cold, calculated, violent, racist, sexist, xenophobic, entitled, ethnocentric, arrogant, privileged, genocidal, and disgustingly imperialistic leaders quickly approaches (President’s Day, as it’s commonly referred to); I find it a moral imperative and obligation to write this.

The very first batch of our recorded biweekly-ish ramblings are now available for your enjoyment. This week we cover the moving documentary titled "I Am Not Your Negro", written by the iconic James Baldwin and narrated by Samuel L. Jackson. We also examine aspects of the impeachment acquittal of the president in the Senate, the actual worship of the president by the American evangelical movement, and assorted minutiae such as Rush Limbaugh's Medal of Freedom and the artwork of conservative painter James McNaughton. The hyperlink below left will give you the audio alone, and the video of course is directly below. One of us is obviously off-frame to the right; this was an accident.  Podcast Version

Here are the highlights from Orion Moon's interview with Myra Sue St. Clair Baldwin of The Deep End Northwest.
