Kelly & Court Packing, ‘Equity’ in Math, Jenner Runs for Governor

April 23, 2021 by GregC

Listen to “Kelly & Court Packing, ‘Equity’ in Math, Jenner Runs for Governor” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome Arizona Democratic Sen.  Mark Kelly opposing expansion of the U.S. Supreme Court under any circumstances. They also wince as Virginia announces there will be no accelerated high school math classes until the 11th grade. And they have very different reactions to the news that Caitlyn Jenner is running for governor in California.

Fantastic Jobs Report, Media & Coronavirus, MSNBC’s Really Bad Math

March 6, 2020 by GregC

Listen to “Fantastic Jobs Report, Media & Coronavirus, MSNBC’s Really Bad Math” on Spreaker.

Join us for some end of the week fun on the Friday Three Martini Lunch. Today, Jim and Greg cheer a really strong February jobs report and are hopeful the strong economy can ward off any coronavirus-related slump. Speaking of which, they also vent about the media’s inability to cover the coronavirus story in a non-hysterical manner, which may be helping to fuel the Wall Street volatility. And they get a lot of laughs from MSNBC anchor Brian Williams and New York Times Editorial Board member Mara Gay concluding that Mike Bloomberg spent enough money in his failed campaign to give each person in America a million dollars.

GOP Hope in Michigan, Voters Clueless on Single-Payer, Seattle’s Bad Math

October 23, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “GOP Hope in Michigan, Voters Clueless on Single-Payer, Seattle’s Bad Math” on Spreaker.

Good polls, confusing polls and politicizing math are the focus of our martinis on Wednesday.  Jim and Greg are glad to see Republican U.S. Senate challenger John James already in a virtual dead heat with Democratic Sen. Gary Peters in Michigan.  They also shake their heads as a new Kaiser Family Foundation survey shows a majority of Americans support Medicare for All but oppose it by large margins when they actually understand it means the end of private insurance.  And they throw up their hands as school officials in Seattle consider adding an emphasis on ethnic studies into all subjects, including taking time in math class to explain how math is oppressive to people of color and is used to exploit natural resources.

Reporter Actually Meets Red State Voters, Trump vs. Corker, Math is Racist

October 24, 2017 by GregC


David French of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America applaud former NPR CEO Ken Stern for taking the time to meet voters in red states and realizing they are nothing like the caricature offered by the mainstream media.  They’re also exasperated as President Trump and Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker resume their public feud and accomplish nothing other than choke momentum for tax reform and tax cuts.  And they react with disgust to a University of Illinois professor who argues that proficiency in algebra and geometry perpetuates unearned white privilege and that “mathematics itself operates as Whiteness.”
