In episode eleven, Charles implores the Republican Party to stop nominating the Munsters for public office, and instead choose candidates who can win. Next, Charles talks to Steve Morris, who heard the segment on gay marriage with MBD and wanted to argue with him from the left. Finally, Charles chats with Dan McLaughlin about the monster baseball contracts that are coming in with the snow.
As promised, Charles sings all four operas from Wagner's 'Ring Cycle' — Das Rheingold, Die Walküre, Siegfried, and Larry's Giant Subs — while accompanying himself on the Mongolian nose flute.
In between arias, he argues that the Republican Party's choice is obvious: it can either find candidates that are palatable to the majority, or it can keep on losing winnable races; talks to Steve Morris about gay marriage—this time, the criticisms come from the Left; and asks Dan McLaughlin what on earth is going on with these $300m+ baseball contracts. The ISBN for this week's episode is 5, and rising.
