The Professional Left Podcast with Driftglass and Blue Gal
Driftglass and Blue Gal
"Fiercely and unapologetically progressive, and definitely NSFW. 'The Professional Left' features award-winning bloggers Driftglass and Blue Gal as they skewer right-wing absurdities and dismantle mainstream media mealy-mouths with razor-sharp wit and zero filter. From mercilessly mocking partisan hacks to elevating stories the media ignores, it's the profane, unflinching political commentary you didn't know you needed. More at http://ProLeftPod.com."

Housekeeping! One Episode this week on Wednesday.
Hi it’s Fran AKA Blue Gal, just letting you know that this week, due to lots of things going on here at Casa DGBG, we will be doing ONE podcast only, on Wednesday October 18. The episode should be posted by 7pm Central time. I’ve got lots of doctor appointments this week for some reason and today Tuesday, our cat, Barack Hussein the Kenyan Usurper, goes to the vet for his annual checkup. Barack Hussein is our Sumo wrestler cat he weighs over 15 pounds but the vet says he’s not overweight just built like a brick house. In other family news, Junior Dude turns 25 on Saturday, and he’s coming home on Wednesday for a week, so my other two are also coming home for a couple of days and this empty nester will have all three adult kids in the house for one 24 hour period on Thursday. I struggled with whether to podcast that day because telling my kids to be quiet we’re podcasting would make them feel right at home, but then I decided I would rather not do that. So again, we’re doing one show this week, it will drop tomorrow, Wednesday October 18, and then we’ll be back with two shows Tuesday and Thursday next week. Love you and talk to you then.

Ep 746 Hey GOP, Keep F***ing That Chicken
The Republican Party can't get their act together, and it's a feature, not a bug. The mainstream media can’t help making “walking the UAW picket line” and “meeting with scabs at a non-union shop” equal. Keith Olbermann dances on Drifty’s corner (again), and a Missouri congressman doesn’t understand timelines. And Republicans won’t call out a REAL corrupt Democrat because they’re too busy going after Joe Biden. The Saudis will pay “anything” for Mar-A-Lago, but Biden’s wearing sneakers.

Ep 743 Kevin?
Kevin McCarthy's very illegal impeachment (not really) inquiry (also not really) thingie is not going well.
