An inoffensive, centrist represents the Democratic Party in their fight to take down the worst Republican president in recent memory. Will the Democrat prevail in making the Republican incumbent a one-term leader, or is the Republican’s reelection inevitable? That depends on whether you’re talking about Trump and Biden in the 2020 Election or George W. Bush and John Kerry in the 2004 Election. Jordan is joined by Cody (from episode #4) to discuss the tail-end of Bush’s first term, the Democratic primaries, John Kerry’s campaign, and why Kerry lost to Bush. They also ponder: what would have happened to the nation had Kerry WON and sign off with VOTE 2020!

最近在美国一部叫好叫座的电影就是描述美国前副总统切尼(Dick Cheney)的“为副不仁(Vice)”,一生阅历丰富,三十多岁就被任命为白宫幕僚长,也做过联邦众议员,国防部长和副总统,而他从二十多岁就和夫人琳恩(Lynne Cheney)在一起,两人育有两个女儿,这么多年来恩爱依旧,也没有传过什么绯闻,是华府的一对让人称羡的模范夫妻。但切尼副总统出生在内布拉斯加州,在威斯康辛州,怀俄明州和康乃狄克州上学,然后一直住在华府和怀俄明州,所以您也奇怪,他到底和我们科州有什么渊源呢?那就要从他的夫人,美国的第二夫人琳恩切尼说起了。琳恩切尼出生在毗邻科州的怀俄明州,是一个道地的美国乡村姑娘,从小的文笔就不错,上学之后也一直朝文科发展,主修英国文学的她,在大学毕业时还拿到了学校的最高荣誉,更进一步的修读了文学硕士和博士学位。而琳恩四年的大学生活和两年的硕士进修是在我们科州的科罗拉多学院(Colorado College)和科罗拉多大学波德分校(University of Colorado at Boulder)就读的,所以琳恩不单单是科罗拉多学院的高材生也是该校的荣誉校友。而这些年来,她除了是切尼副总统的贤内助外,自己也撑起一片天,是一位著名的作家,学者,和电视节目主持人,也热心公益的参与了非常多的公益活动。如果您以为切尼家和科州的渊源仅止于此那您就错了,切尼的两个女儿也都跟随母亲的脚步,在科罗拉多学院完成了她们大学的学业,大女儿伊丽莎白(Liz Cheney)继承父业,目前是怀俄明州的联邦众议员,而小女儿玛丽(Mary Cheney)更和科州有多一层的渊源,她是我们落基棒球队(Colorado Rockies)的创队员工,早已出柜的她,也曾是库尔斯啤酒厂(Coors Brewing Company)的公关经理和同性推广部的主管,一直以来都为同性平权而不遗余力。下次您再看到关于她们的报导时,您也可以告诉大家她们都曾是科州人了。

Peeps is a really sweet work of fiction. Every other chapter gives a v v in depth description of the live cycle of a parasite. It was great. Though i suggest it for older teens because of the sex and drinking that are the basis for the story's beginning. All in all it is a fun read that i think you should all check out. It is available at Mary Cheney. Later, ed
What a great book this is. I have listened to all four of them. It isn't uncommon that when i get to my destination i linger a bit to hear just a wee bit more of the story. The narrator does a brilliant job with the accents too.
