Warren Wright returns to RAP WITH ME about structural inequality, crisis comedy, and institutionalized stupidity at the end of the world. This is the day after mid-term elections, and things aren't looking good since the Democrats seem poised to lose control of yet another Congress. Warren and I wonder why we're both such miserable sad boys when all we really care about is having fun and feeling good. It's an interesting question and a funny episode with two neurodiverse comedy aspirants from the mean-spirited heart of Texas. Check out a book of reportage entitled American Prison: A Reporter's Undercover Journey Into the Business of Punishment, by Shane Bauer. We fail to talk about that and we also don't discuss the movie Gummo.
