Yeah, I wasn't jumping for joy at AB's joining the crew either. At this point, probably the only people I'll miss are Tim Miller and Joe Perticone. The rest hit me as becoming pretty mainstream with all the political horse-race commentary.

I couldn't take more than 13 minutes of the Pod yesterday, and switched off. I browsed the comments today, and alas it appears that from 29 minutes on, the pair of them were mansplaining abortion policy, and why we should just enact the "European" regime.

Uh, Europe has far more accessible healthcare, more support for families with children, and fact based sex ed so kids know the risks and chances.

Not one fucking pro-life pol or activist is willing to do a damn thing after the child is born.

Even Mona's "rational" position is to provide support for up to a year. That is just a fig leaf.

I quit the pods some time ago, as I find JVL oddly annoying on them. I think my eyes would have rolled right out of my head and on to the floor when they starting mansplaining on abortion. The lack of self-awareness is disappointing.

Yeah, Will Saletan is the worst.
