Also, views on the legal news are all about the pending priest-on-child sex abuse lawsuits in Guam. So far, one priest has admitted to 20+ victims. Archbishop Anthony Apuron is steadfast in his denial of all wrongdoing, and the court has just dismissed defamation claims against him.

Duhhh! It was his son, King Edward the Elder (not to be confused with King Edward the First)! Also, Edward's sister Aethelflaed, Lady of Mercia, probably did half the work at least. This is the special supplemental episode for everyone who wants to know what a tort is and how we ended up with the civil lawsuit system we have now in America. The inspiration for this supplement is the "prima facie tort" count of comedian Aaron Glaser's lawsuit against comedian Jasmine Pierce. It's an odd duck. Come with me as we sort it out together.   Links: Glaser: https://www.thedailybeast.com/never-another-cosby-how-new-yorks-comedy-scene-is-fighting-back-against-sexual-assault-and-harassment http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/im

We start today with Trump's announcement that he "looks forward" to giving testimony under oath to Robert Mueller. What did he say, what did he not say, and should we hold our breath? Going right to the other end of the spectrum, @EliteSkeptiC visits the show to discuss the importance of evidence-based schooling. After that, we type filthy things into Christian search engines like a couple of twelve year-olds.
