A Grand Singing Lady of the Stage, Haley & DeSantis Have Primary Polls to Gauge, Biden Shows his Geriatric Age, and a Battle for the Soul of Christmas We Wage.

Lefty Loosey Righty Tighty: A Texan Caught in the Middle

In a holiday-tinged edition of the show, we discuss the politics behind polling. What polls do you trust and what polls should we look at to determine who might win the next election? And in a feature honoring our Great American Heroes, we honor a vocal jazz legend who helped unite the country with her music and lead the way in civil rights for women of color. We also discuss the commercialization and secularization of Christmas, and what Christmas should really mean, and what it should be about.

We explore Biden's age, and the age of most presidents in history, and analyze his realistic chances of getting reelected. Also, what are the realistic chances for Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley to win in primaries? Let's preview the early primary contests to see what's possible. What might happen to each person running and who might challenge Trump?

We discuss a family Christmas movie, Funny Farm, and why it is potentially more important now to understand than it was in 1988 for those under 40.

And in the final segment, we have one wonderful Christmas political joke, along with another joke from The Gipper.
