À propos de ce contenu audio

"A sane person to an insane society must appear insane." ― Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

Not Mad as in Angry, Mad as in Insane.

And in an insane world, the sane are simply Mad. I am The Mad Centrist.

You can be too!

The Mad Centrist podcast is a middle ground, pragmatic, politically polite, and irreverently independent show. Pulling the rug out from beneath Democrats and Republicans alike, while respecting democrats and republican citizens (the distinction between Party and people is critical!). Amusing anecdotes of the crazy world we find ourselves in, how to maybe get along better, and pull the world back towards sanity, and do so while having some fun!

      ICE has achieved the lofty status of becoming a curse in the English language. Call someone an ICE agent, or suggest maybe they should get a job with ICE, and expect a fight. Rarely in our nation's history has a part of the government reached such a level of loathing. Perhaps, in jokes, the IRS can rival it, but in reality only Customs and Border Patrol comes close - and they do come close!

      Renee Good and Alex Pretti are just the very visible tip of the iceberg - pun intended. Listen to hear more of the story, and the horrors of an agency unleashed on the people of America by their own "leader."

      Davos was a disaster for Trump, and the USA's standing on the world stage. Something else happened at Davos that didn't get the same amount of press the low-energy, fabricated reality, falsehoods, and mistakes that the Trump speeches did:

      The Board of Peace.

      I think it deserves a bit more time, even if just to make us laugh. I read the actual Board of Peace charter - and now you can get the cliff notes. Buckle-up, this one is fun!
