Don't Make Me Angry

As you may know, the Supreme Court is listening to arguments about the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Some people don't like the mandate, not to be confused with man date. Stephen had Emily Bazelon, Legal Editor of Slate, on the show to discuss everything about this issue. It ended, as many interviews do, with Stephen accepting her apology.

Enough of reforming, let's try some conforming.

Lots of people are saying that young people are not excited about any of the Republican candidates. But as the kids would say, "Poppycock!" There's a conservative teen magazine for kids who are tired of doing their own thing and just want to conform. The magazine is called "The Conservative Teen" and has articles such as "Government Creates Poverty," and "Why Abstinence Works & How it Can Work For You." You can go to the website theconservativeteen.com but it's not there. It seems there has not been enough interest in the magazine to get it printed so it had been available online, but even that seems to be problematic.

Mark Ruffalo was the guest tonight. He talked about natural gas (we have 20 year supply not 100 year supply underground), fracking (yeah, it sounds bad), and water (the stuff we drink). In fact, he has a website - Water Defense - with lots of information about all those things plus more. At one point, Stephen and Mark were having a shouting match and a pointing battle. But the interview ended with Mark accepting Stephen's apology.

Stephen started out the show tonight by highlighting a sponsor, Kellogg's Crunchy Nut. And funny thing, that was one of the commercials after the interview and before Stephen said, "Good Night." I wonder if that was a coincidence.
