Parrot Room: The Once and Future Current Thing
Was the Will Smith sentencing too lenient? Bizarre baseless false flag theory of the day. Eastern Ukraine battlefield update. The mystery man in a Ukrainian atrocity video. Bob’s ode to Tiger Woods. When Tiger said the G-word. Mickey says unborn generations don’t get a vote. Can public spaces cure loneliness?—Richard Hanania says no, Mickey agrees and then has second thoughts. The thrill of giving directions. Can the liberal project give our lives purpose?—Not if we hate where we’re going. Why Mickey wanted Orban to lose. You wanted cognitive empathy for Trump?—You got cognitive empathy for Trump. Mickey adds empathy for Biden on Hunter. Journalism’s crazy anonymity rules. JD Vance on the march! David McCormick wants to be president and he has just the wife for it. Bob’s weekly Michael McFaul rant. Bob’s strange encounter with fabulist Stephen Glass—Was it all a joke? Mickey tries to stop worrying about Mitt Romney. New York Times fulfills right-wing caricature of wokeness. Bob thinks he has a killer book title. Why electric vehicles might not be the answer. How Mickey saved Bob’s relationship with his new car.
This dialogue is (in part, at least) a continuation of a publicly available dialogue taped earlier in the day.
