Episode 42 - Aleppo: It's more of a feeling.

<p>We return to our roots with a short Epoch. This week things start as a boy's party (for the first ten or so minutes, then Sarah joins us) as Joe, Jesse, and Scott sift through the news. We discuss recent mass shootings, gun control, the top 1% not paying their taxes, the Boston Mayoral race, the MBTA and the stimulus (again), filibuster reform, and the crisis at the boarder. Although there is no Rabid Radlibs this week, we still dissect the headline, "Larry Summers vs. The Stimulus." To round the episode out, and to bring you Bird Content, we briefly debate if penguins are communists. All that, plus, technical issues, drama, and bot problems.
