Description

It's the Holidays! How about a light one? As Rob has watched very little Simpsons, Ruairi thought it would be great to hear his thoughts on a politically focused episode of the long running cartoon.  Season nine, episode 22: Trash of the Titans.
Rob & Ruairi reflect on The Simpsons as a weighty example of American soft power. The episode ricochets around topics from the beloved TV show's stealth libertarianism, Generation X, David Dinkins, Hillary Clinton, VH1's Behind The Music, why a group of Ivy League writers feel the need to ridicule the Kennedys, and so much more. 
We hope you have a wonderful holiday season and enjoy this merry episode.

The More Freedom Foundation is trying to save the world every week. We’re at an odd point in history. We could be on the cusp of a new Golden Age, or we could be marching down the path to World War III. Despite the picture presented by most of our media, the world really is in great shape. The world is governed by US power and a set of institutions that have largely succeeded in bringing about unparalleled peace and prosperity. The only country strong enough to tear down this Pax Americana is the US itself.
