We don’t necessarily make it a point to highlight a new insane right wing conspiracy theory every week, but damn if they don’t keep making em up. Tonight: butterflies, Mexicans, Mexican butterflies, a wall, death threats, fraud, and more! Also the biggest Bitcoin caper in history, and it’s truly wild perpetrators. Holler at it. | |||
| 16 Feb 2022 | Weekly Skews 2/15/22 – Ram Ranch Truckers | 01:00:31 | |
It seems a new theme has emerged from the big Canadian Trucker Protest, and that theme sounds a lot like gay cowboy porno metal (seriously). Also, momentum is gaining to stop stock trading in Congress, which is a change so obviously necessary it’s no wonder it hasn’t happened yet. And more! | |||

Tonight we engage in every red-blooded Americans favorite pursuit: hollerin’ about gas prices. Oil, that is. Black gold. Texas tea. There’s a lot of debate about what’s really going on there and just how much blame Joe Biden should take for it all, so let’s get into it (and plenty of other stuff too, of course). | |||

It’s no secret that our country’s richest people LOVE not paying taxes. Like even more than sailing and watching racehorses have sex and stuff. But fret not, the IRS is addressing the issue…by auditing poor people at a rate five times exceeding that of the rich. So that’s good. | |||
| 20 Apr 2022 | Weekly Skews 4/19/22 – Manly Man Talk | 01:00:07 | |
This week Tucker Carlson was brave enough to ask the question burning inside every American’s mind: If you ain’t tannin’ your balls up, can you really call yourself a man? Let’s discuss.

In the week since the big SCOTUS leak, GOP lawmakers have been fully engaged in a very uncharacteristic endeavor: working around the clock. The problem of course is that what they are working toward is the passing of a myriad of horrifically draconian laws aimed at destroying the reproductive rights of women. So that checks out. | |||

The GOP in the House and in the state of Wisconsin have impeachment in mind, for Joe Biden and Janet Protasiewicz (state Supreme Court), respectively. That neither has done anything remotely impeachable is, of course, immaterial. Join us. | |||

Skewers, join us as we dive into the recent kerfuffle with Boeing and their apparently rickety planes, which, if ya didn’t know, are rickety due to wokeness (at least according to Fox News).
