It's Monday.

Monday.

It's Monday.

It's The

And It's Monday. September 25th and we forgot to pre-record an intro.

I'm no illusions.

Eventually there will be Heath-Enright and eventually there'll be Eli Bosnick too.

And on this week's episode we'll try to pass off unused scathing atheist headlines as

Skeptocrat headlines. Heath will literally name the show the headline is in at one point of all

fucking things and I'll cleverly edit it in such a naturalistic way that you probably

wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't said anything. But first, the diatribe.

That's right, the diatribe. Over the past several decades we've developed a couple of cultural defense mechanisms against politicians.

Right, we've learned to expect the worst scandals out of the best of them.

We've learned at least selectively to limit their terms in office and most of all we've learned to never

believe a goddamn word they say and generally speaking that's worked out well

for us but our cynicism can be weaponized.

See, this tendency arose from bad politicians saying good shit.

So when, like Bush Jr. claimed to be a compassionate conservative,

when Trump vowed to drain the swamp,

when Clinton swears that he did not have sexual when Trump vowed to drain the swamp.

When Clinton swears that he did not have sexual relations with that woman,

we're not caught off guard when we learn the exact opposite is true.
