Society & Culture:Philosophy
We can’t define progressive rock but we know it when we hear it. Nobody does Genesis like Bob. Some good news on inflation. Great mentioner strikes again. Will America take a ride in Manchin’s Maserati? At least NATO is happy (Lockheed, too). At Café Milano it’s all about respect. Bob insists Putin is rational. Did the Kabul fiasco wreck Biden’s foreign policy? Russia’s shell game. Snake Island and Bob’s howitzer heritage. What was WashPost trying to tell us about Cassidy Hutchinson? (And should it matter?) Mickey confronts AI’s liberal bias. Cassidy Hutchinson’s future isn’t as rosy as you might think. Mickey fails Sonny Barger quiz. What Bob has in common with Hells Angels. Why there’s no To Tell The Truth reboot. Ghislaine sentenced; Mickey demands Epstein commission. What if Putin were a woman? Mickey shocked to discover Bob’s tribe. Mickey goes hard left on highways. Bill Galston has the quote of the week on Wokism. Bob on how to swing the pendulum back. Mickey’s Dobbs theory: Justice Alito blew it. Who’s the smartest justice? Good thing Mickey’s not bitter about Matt Yglesias. Does Substack have to seem successful? Bob’s weekly example of media bias. Commenters: Mickey’s punctuality; Bob’s second amendment misfires; agency in the Matrix; Boris’s bad party; parrots in her hair, parrots everywhere.
This dialogue is (in part, at least) a continuation of a publicly available dialogue taped earlier in the day.
