A Conventional Convention

The art of not saying much

We discuss the democratic convention and compare it to a superhero movie. We review what VP Harris may have said and did not say. John and Tim use bus driver analogies to capture aspects of the direction of the country.

John shares a new presidential trivia question for our listeners.

We offer a public service announcement on the outdated practice of blindfolding.

We review the whack-jobbery of price controls and John shares poignant thoughts on a visit to Shanksville, PA.
