Welcome to the inaugural episode of The Midwest Peace Process — three guys and a microphone, solving the world’s problems. We hope you enjoy our unique brand of political discourse, as we offer an alternative to the binary views of the shouting heads on cable news. We invite you to spend some time listening every week as we discuss politics and dissect the spin on both the left and the right, and, of course, have a few laughs along the way. In this week’s episode: Bachmann Corndog Overdrive, Ron Paul becomes the 13th floor of politics, and we dismantle the Department of Education.
