Ok, so we got off to a rocky start. Got out the first podcast right quick and lost the second to technical snafus. But we’re back. And we’re going to be at least semi-regular. I promise. So keep it tuned because we’ve got a lot of relevant (and irrelevant) stuff to talk about including:

More info on the retirement of my favorite Congressman Barney Frank:
- Just a few of Frank’s best quotes
- Vanity Fair says: Congress will lose more than a sense of humor when Frank leaves
- A few of Frank’s even snarkier moments come via Rachel Maddow, including “We don’t get ourselves dry-cleaned.” which Rep. Frank said this to a reporter who asked whether gay and straight military personnel should shower together. Here’s her video tribute.
