This Is Not Normal

Traci and Bill review the so-called scandals Republicans are wasting their time on.

We explore the mathematical theory that the raising of taxes somehow has managed to reduce our budget deficit. And we chronicle the pathetic attempts of the House Republican to come up with an excuse to take the debt limit hostage again.

After a week off, Traci feels extra stabby. Bill tries to talk slowly. Why Rand Paul could be the next, and last, GOP nominee. And too much information about Ronald Reagan.

Traci and Bill discuss the very bad events of the week.

Will Rand Paul's cluelessness ever stop being hilarious? What the hell is Chained CPI? Traci and Bill duel over "Accidental Racist." And in Bill's story time, when Reagan met Maggie.

The story you won't hear anywhere else: How Rand Paul never really disagreed with President Obama and Attorney General Holder about drones.

We lament Bob Woodward, Seth MacFarlane and Aerosmith, but praise Harry Reid and the Modern Lovers. Plus, a very Stabby Five.

Why are the Koch Brothers so sad? Why can't the Republicans get their sequester story straight? And story time with President Chester A. Arthur and his 14-course dinners!

Traci fails to summon the requisite enthusiasm for State of the Union Week, but Bill compensates.

How the sequester is fracturing the GOP ... again. Why Karl Rove is taking on the Tea Party. Plus, Traci Olsen and the Stabby Five!
