Welcome back to the silliest stupidest topical political podcast on record.   We've been away but we're back.  Back with a review of Maqz' predictions for 2013 - (At least he did better than Sylvia Browne).  And we're back with some news and commentary about the Crimean Peninsula, celebrities and sports. Now what could be more grown up than that! Click here for news

Click here to listen  Why is it that international leaders are always hugging Angela Merkel? Ever seen Trainspotting?  Lincoln?  Orange is the New Black?  In this episode Maqz and Zach cover binge watching television, movies and Healthcare.gov.  One of these things is not like the other. Plus we include a special feature today.  Much editing is done on the podcast but some of the preliminary chatter was so much fun, that we threw it in there before the show started. Think of it as a bonus!

Listen Here Sports begins our episode 31.  A couple of classic and classy baseball players retire. The NSA gets to hear more about the Affordable Care Act than they'd probably prefer.   Maqz takes a non-sequitorial turn about his favorite over-hyped politician and Zach reigns him in. Wait till you hear the kinds of questions that African Americans had to deal with on literacy tests as recently as the 1960's.   Then you'll understand our guys outrage over these attempts at voter suppression. Tea anyone? Can you do this in 10 minutes?  Remember, no mistakes!

Click here to listen In a change of pace Zach and Maqz examine the international politics of the middle east, President Obama's political wavering and his surprising relationship with Vlad the Putin, as well as the Colorado recall, Article I of the US Constitution, NFL predictions, NYC politics and Voyager.   And for an aperitif we finish with just a taste of literature.  All in all, a gourmet podcast. Listen here.

Listen here and tell us what you think! Raw and unedited (mostly) Episode 029 will stand the test of time as Zach and Maqz reflect on 50 years ago this week, on fracking, and on epic fails.  No one knows what America's approach to Syria will produce, but Maqz and Zach take a crack at it anyway.

With a bit of time perspective, Zach and Maqz discuss the Trayvon Martin case, Edward Snowden and Alex Rodriguez.  Only in this podcast can you get quite so eclectic a blend of subject matter.  Throw in a smattering of vulgarity, irreverence and respect, add a dose of amateur economics, the Patriot Act, and the sequester and you've got a tasty bit of conversation that will either improve your mood or raise your blood pressure.
