Jimmy Dore came by my slop haven of an apartment to tell me the truth about politics. I've never been very political, but lately I've started to become increasingly angrier about how little representation the average citizen has.

And Mat Edgar joins me for the intro and outro to talk about Shroomfest and to share a few extra stealing stories that he forgot to mention on "Klepto."

0:51.0	a few times when I want to say something, and it's much more than that I think, and it's
0:54.3	just his whole philosophy, it's the way the Gears work in Barack Obama's head.
0:58.0	And it's, whereas Elliott Spitzer, FDR, Teddy Roosevelt, they know these fucking guys,
