After a 14 year absence from public office, America’s favorite Alaskan, recently announced she is now running for Congress. Time magazine’s 2010 pick as one of the 100 most influential Americans, the former Alaskan Governor, experienced meteoric fame in 2008. After her unsuccessful run as VP on the John McCain Presidential ticket, she never left the spotlight. Since then, she’s had her own reality TV show, 2 bestselling books, a multi-year commentary gig on Fox News, and much more. Our 20-something co-host, Ellie, a resident of Alaska herself (and not old enough to vote in 2008) provides on-the-ground and up-to-the minute insight. We are also joined by the brilliant Joe Duffus, of the Government Accountability Institute (GAI), and a longtime commenter of conservative/GOP politics. Palin was both worshipped and dissed in her time. So you won’t want to miss our review of a singular American’s career and the great state of Alaska. 

Joe’s company, GAI also produces a weekly podcast called, “The Drill Down”, http: thedrilldown.com Please check it out.

Introducing Our Mets Correspondent

A Millennial girl and a Gen Xer guy deconstruct the Washington Nationals and the game of MLB baseball generally. Both devotional and irreverent, we blow up the “sports talk” genre with humorous, unapologetic, and shamelessly opinionated baseball news outside the press box, the dugout, and the stadium urinals.
