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."

Ep 242 Dear Abby (Huntsman)

We are temporarily devastated by the latest ACA ruling. And leave it to a Republican from Michigan to "forget" she has 3 million dollars in the bank. Abby Huntsman forgets about "do no harm" when it comes to foreign policy, MSNBC can't handle the Gaza heat, and the only thing that matters about Netroots Nation is who wasn't there?

Ep 241 Love More For Every Hate
It's been a tough week. Refugees from Central America, war in Gaza, and the shooting down of Malaysian Airlines 17 -- not to mention the stupidity of Congress (for instance Louie.
