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!

Episode 73: Bored of Peace
Davos was a disaster for Trump, and the USA's standing on the world stage. Something else happened at Davos that didn't get the same amount of press the low-energy, fabricated reality, falsehoods, and mistakes that the Trump speeches did:
The Board of Peace.
I think it deserves a bit more time, even if just to make us laugh. I read the actual Board of Peace charter - and now you can get the cliff notes. Buckle-up, this one is fun!
