Our favorite political analystBill Scher stops by the bunker to chat about the various races that will be decided this Tuesday – from the national to the local level.
In this election season, when we’re hearing a lot of spittle-flecked rhetoric about how the government is controlling our lives and should be drowned in the bathtub, we thought it might be interesting to take a look at what an ACTUAL dictatorship looks like. Our friend Dan (who asked that we not use his last name) teaches journalism in Burma, aka the Republic of the Union of Myanmar – where the government decides what you can read and write. He talks about how his students cope with oppression – from the government to the weather.
Our own personal Mr. Science, Steve Sauter, stops by and gives us the lowdown on a newly discovered planet that could possibly support life. Which is good, since it seems like this planet of ours is declining a bit.
