The Professional Left Podcast with Driftglass and Blue GalEp 704: Don't Sugarcoat It, Driftglass!This week was like a scene out of "His Girl Friday," with reporters vamping while waiting for news. More on being the audience that bolts from MSNBC. Our next big mass movement is against poverty. And the so-called "judgment of history" is bunk, to put it mildly, which Driftglass never puts it mildly!
