To The Contrary with Charlie Sykes

People just don’t and can’t get it. Denial is too powerful to overcome for most. Trump is Stage-4-Cancer; we’ve been through the chemo, the radiation, and now we await the hospice final morphine shot. “The sons of Lapetus represent four basic qualities of the human character, together with the suffering which comes with them. Atlas, the patient, has to bear and endure. Menoetius, the brave, is overpowered and hurled to destruction. Prometheus, the wise and prudent, is bound, i.e., his effectiveness is limited and a vulture i.e., care, gnaws at his heart. Epimetheus, the rash and thoughtless, is punished by his own folly. Arthur Schopenhauer

Been listening to Charlie for years. He’s such a talent at what he does. Highly recommended.

Nice podcast but you and your guest seemed to memory hole Michelle Obama’s support for eating well. As I recall, the mainstream Republican Party even jumped on that as preachy and demanded their sugary cereal. Maybe if she’d promoted trying road kill you would give her credit.

I enjoy the episodes where I learn some new factoid most. But discussions are usually interesting. Small correction: Melania was maybe as aspiring supermodel. Really more of an exotic dancer or nude model. Never was a supermodel. Twiggy was a supermodel.
