Members Only #121 - Welcome to the Mediocre Courses Series

Kmele is “at a conference.” Maybe he’s hanging out with Anita Hill this time? So last night, the other two, Moynihan and Welch, cracked open the substandard wine, called each other up, and talked shit for a couple of hours. (Ed. note: I suppose it’s something like a podcast. What “cheese food” is to Roquefort. What Hydrox is to Oreo….but…actually…upon closer inspection, it’s an amazing and entertaining episode. Please continue. Apologies). Some highlights:

* That’s quite a tweet, Rod

* Another Side of Dana Rohrabacher

* Preview of a forthcoming, already-recorded podcast with Bob Colacello

* Among the maskers and revisionists in Cambridge, MA

* So whaddayathink about Glenn and Ukraine?

* Why Chomskyites think such silly things

* How to become a journalist

* Should Moynihan do a Not Really A Master Class on journalism?

* Matt Welch, the Dave Stapleton of journalism

* Stealing gokarts, having your baseball cards requisitioned

* Drinking and reading

* In Omaha, the big man in the Hyundai just wants a burrito

* Fact check: Is it true that Matt deserves the most $$? Conclusion: Four Pinocchios

* Sell Moynihan your TR6
