""If your parents are bigots who'd wish you'd disrespect my office, remember our democracy gives even the silliest underachievers among us a voice!"

Al Franken called my satirical style "sophisticated" and "charming". But we aren't the most dangerous crew on BTR for nothing, either. Our show brings you political commentary, music and discussion of art and culture you won't hear anywhere else ... smart and fun commentary from co-hosts Leyla, Donald and Stephanie; show regulars like Ellen and Robzilla; and great guests that we don't bore with "straight" interviews. As far as I know we are the ONLY show anywhere who did a hip-hop remix of David Cay Johnston (and played it to him!), or were told by punk icon and best-selling author Legs McNeil that we "f-ing suck."

Someone has to crank call the crank callers, might as well be us.
