Hello and welcome to the political orphanage, a home for plucky misfits and problem solvers.

I'm your host Andrew Heaton,

your designated driver through a whole bunch of stuff today. I know how to get blood out of a trench coat. The trick is to use cold water.

You'd think warm water and soap, but no, use cold water. Blood contains hemoglobin and if you

heat it, the water in the blood evaporates, leaving the hemoglobin behind as a gelatinous

clump which easily bonds to fabric so use

cold water. I know this because I broke up, were at least attempted to break up a

bar fight three years ago in Brooklyn. I had just finished

a comedy show and saddled up to the bar and a libertarian guy recognized me from

a reason video and came over to chat. Prior to this, he had been in some kind of argument

with a skinny neighbor who was also at the show.

And from what I can tell, the argument centered around

whether racism was the source of all bigotry

or the main source of bigotry or whether there were other

forms of bigotry or something rather academic about the nature of racism and bigotry.

I don't know the specifics of the argument.

However, the skinny neighbor was infuriated that the Libertarian guy disagreed with him about whatever point he had.

So he stormed out of the bar, and then every couple of minutes would fling the door open and scream,

Come outside, you racist! The Libertarian guy ignored him. But then about a

pilsner and a half later, skinny guy flings the door open, races

into the bar, and punches the Libertarian in the face as hard as he possibly can.

Bam!
