This week's show(s) is/are all about the Fox News GOP/Republican Primary Debate that was broadcast in a very constrained format from one of their affiliates in Ohio and then put behind a pay wall. Show 72, we MST3K all over the top 10 contenders and have a bit of fun with a drinking game throughout. We apologize if that offends you or if you find this boring. We will get back to a regular program with news and events in a more sober fashion next week. IN the mean time, enjoy the many hours of our broadcast, where we all get very tired by the end, which was 6 full hours after we began on Friday at 9:30pm.
