The Mad Centrist
"A sane person to an insane society must appear insane." ― Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
Not Mad as in Angry, Mad as in Insane.
And in an insane world, the sane are simply Mad. I am The Mad Centrist.
You can be too!
The Mad Centrist podcast is a middle ground, pragmatic, politically polite, and irreverently independent show. Pulling the rug out from beneath Democrats and Republicans alike, while respecting democrats and republican citizens (the distinction between Party and people is critical!). Amusing anecdotes of the crazy world we find ourselves in, how to maybe get along better, and pull the world back towards sanity, and do so while having some fun!

Taken from the street. Disappearing from an appointment with ICE. Held at the border, or at an airport on your way home. The stories are coming in fast and way too frequent.
The stunning thing is we aren't seeing more outrage.
Let's take a walk back in history and find out why all Americans should be downright furious at people being renditioned by our government - sometimes even sent to a prison in another country.
