And this is our last real episode of the year.

Next week, we're going to do our annual urine review of all things because I have put the entire year out of my head.

Yep. I am halfway through working on that as I always am.

Kate McDonald, my trusty right hand person.

And we'll bring you all of the good shit and the bad shit, mostly the bad shit that happened in the air of our Lord 2021 that you may forgotten about because March was only nine months ago.

March of 2020 was like yesterday. Yes.

And you're going somewhere out of town.

So I mentioned I'm going to be going to Missoula Montana. So I haven't gotten any feedback except for Isaac who is helping me plan a little bit.

But if anybody lives in the greater Missoula Montana area and is around on February 1st, we are going to be meeting up at the iron horse in Missoula more details to come.

I will post it in the Facebook group and in the discord, which I have been sorely neglecting because discord is not part of my normal social media diet.

So I will pop on and say hi. So that's it. I think all right.

Which story should we even start with? Let's start with Lauren Bobert, that congresswoman, because this week she was speaking at the one of those conservative conferences where you just say like guns and then the crowd goes wild.

And she gave this long speech that's full of her usual. This is the Republican from Colorado who has no actual job in Congress just kind of trolls everybody.

And she said a lot of awful slur-ish things, but there was one more.

Yeah, just like trashing everyone for whatever conspiracy she made up in her head.

But one of the things she said was just like it was weird to hear even beyond the usual litany of right wing catch phrases about like how she is evil all that stuff.

She said I am tired of having godless people who hate America run this country.

And I'm like, there's so much to parse there. First of all, godless people who hate America are there godless people that implies there are godless people who love America.

I would like to know who she thinks there is.

It also implies there's Christian people who hate America.

And also who are these godless people running the country?
