Summary

Join Jim and Greg for a quick and fun discussion of getting spam emails from the DNC. Then they tackle National Security Council spokesman John Kirby disrespecting veterans critical of Biden, an LA Times columnist blaming Republicans for California's litany of problems, and politicians in Maryland considering an end to single-family homes.

After some quick jokes about the odd, unsolicited DNC emails that Greg keeps getting, they dig into Admiral Kirby hitting "reply all" on a request for a statement from veterans mad about Biden's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan and announcing their concerns weren't even worth a response. "Obviously no use in responding. A ‘handful’ of vets indeed and all of one stripe," is what Kirby said. Jim says Kirby needs to remember that he works for the people and not the Democratic Party.

Next, they roll their eyes at an opinion column in the Los Angeles Times that admits California is a mess. And even though no Republican has held statewide office since early 2011, columnist Steve Lopez says it's still the GOP's fault because of things Republicans did more than 50 years ago and that the Democrats' many failures under one-party control in recent years are also the Republicans' fault. Really! Jim has little patience for this revisionism and says Democrats have been able to do whatever they want in California. And what they want leads to disaster.

Finally, they turn their attention to the DC suburbs in Maryland. For years, people on the right have been branded as conspiracy theorists for saying the left wants to put an end to single-family homes and crowd more people into those spaces in order to collect more in property taxes. In Montgomery County, Maryland, the county council is now...surprise...considering legislation to put an end to single-family homes - under the false pretense of creating more affordable housing.

lunch.

We are not going to talk about the debate aftermath today.

0:20.6

If you want to know our thoughts on that. It's chock full of it on the

0:23.7

Wednesday edition of the three martini lunch. We also don't have a good martini

0:27.4

today which is unfortunate. We've got three different stories that are either bad

0:32.3

or crazy or both, but one little light-hearted thing to start the day, Jim.

0:36.6

I don't know if I've mentioned this on the podcast before, but somehow I got on the Democrats email list as some woman named Doris so every time they're

0:45.8

sending out their frantic fundraising pledges it's always Doris we've

0:49.7

noticed you haven't donated lately and I used to make a joke out of it as you know because they were

0:54.7

pitching for Joe Biden that Joe Biden wouldn't remember who I really was and so he'd just come up with some

1:00.4

random name that would be the most reasonable explanation. Doris, let me tell you something, Jack, Doris Jack, fat, look fat. I can say that because Greg is very slim and it's very fantastic shape for his age.

been waiting to make your first donation to Kamala's campaign now all caps is when it will have the greatest impact the vice president is counting on you to join the millions of grassroots supporters who have already given $25 to power this fight.

Well I got some bad news for you DNC

Doris ain't kicking in now and Doris ain't ever kicking in ever. In part because Doris
