Welcome to The Breakfast Club! We’re a disorganized group of rebel lefties who hang out and chat if and when we’re not too hungover we’ve been bailed out we’re not too exhausted from last night’s (CENSORED) the caffeine kicks in. Join us every weekday morning at 9am (ET) and weekend morning at 10:00am (ET) (or whenever we get around to it) to talk about current news and our boring lives and to make fun of LaEscapee! If we are ever running late, it’s PhilJD’s fault.

TMC is traveling as she frequently does and will be unavailable on a regular basis. I don’t want you going around thinking that we’ve suddenly had a management shakeup, we’ll keep trying to feed you the usual mix of crap, lies, and innuendo that any purveyor of ‘Fake News’ and CT (it stands for Completely True!) aspires to.
Today I’ll skip the blogs just to mix things up.
