Welcome to Douglas Wilson's The Plodcast.

As we mentioned last week, it is November.

That means it's no quarter November over at Doug Wills.com.

Additionally, Doug has released

Ecochondriacs, which he is releasing chapters of

on blog and May blog at Doug Wills.com.

You can pre-order that book at cannon press.com. Yes, God, God, God don't never.

So welcome to the Plop, this is episode one 67.

If you were looking for the plot cast

hosted by Douglas Wilson, that's me,

and you were looking for plotcast one 67,

you've come to the right place.

So the thing I want to talk about is, well, I want to mention something by way of setting the

stage and then go off in another direction that is inspired by the first comment.

Pope Francis is a leftist.

The Pope is a comi and periodically says things

that indicate that his understanding of economics is extremely shallow and driven by

sentiment and emotion and very much in tune with the sentiments of the left.

So just to reduce it down to a simple statement the Pope is a commie.

That's the presenting problem.

The Pope is talking periodically out in public, says things that are economically nonsensical.

It'll just pop off with something and want good happy thoughts or good feelings to be all that's necessary to feed the hungry.
