This week we start off with a left-handed acknowledgement of ‘progress’ on the racial front (what with Harriet Tubman’s impending appearance on the American $20 bill and all), and then we promote the advantages of Bose speakers in their ease of muting politicians. We explore the structure of Bernie Sanders’ new ‘progressive’ organization Our Revolution before we explore the theory that we have too many people on our planet, and the Toothless Old Grandpa reveals his latest conspiracy theory. We comment upon the fact that Exxon Mobil’s scientists predicted climate change and sea level rise back in the 70’s before finally getting to the title piece this week — a high-voltage Thunderbolt aimed at a self-professed ‘man of God’.
