Noah’s lucky. He gets to yell about the republicans and the vaccine deniers and the idiots. I have to listen to callers complain about how Biden is ruining the economy and I can’t reply because I’ll get fired.

2024-05-10 15:46:07 +0000 UTCwell and the thing is, nobody did hire her, the case was (more or less) purely hypothetical. Also, for those wondering 303 is one of the 3 main Colorado area codes, along with 720 and 910. So the name 303 creative is not, particularly creative, it's just the first 3 digits of her phone number.

2023-07-08 01:42:15 +0000 UTCWhy anyone needs to hire a bigot (let alone another person) to create a wedding website is beyond me! There are many companies that offer this service for free. Such a ridiculously stupid suit, especially in the year 2023.

2023-07-07 19:58:06 +0000 UTCThank you for another interview. It's so great that this show has had 3 great interviews in the last 5 weeks. My favourite type of C segment for sure. Keep up the great work!

2023-07-06 23:55:32 +0000 UTCThanks for having Geof Blackwell on, this past week i've really missed having a lawyer to explain these things things. The pod save people have a legal show now that's decent (strict scrutiny) but it's not atheist focused like Geoff's work is.

2023-07-06 21:49:50 +0000 UTCI'm sorry guys, the arkansas state grounds currently has 10 commandments, and the teachers are required by law to have "in God we Trust" in every classroom. So I'm confused why they even bothered by this point. I mean it's Huckabee! I hate that place so much. I escaped AR last year and just got back from visiting. 🤮

2023-07-06 19:27:15 +0000 UTCFor work, I help veterans obtain their disability benefits, and I live/work in an awesomely liberal blue state with a governor to match. A governor who is also a veteran. Today I had a call from a veteran wanting to put in for an increase in his benefits because he moved to this state and recently was affected by the rainbow. When I asked what he meant, he said the governor of our great state had passed a law and classified him as a woman. This kind of crazy bigotry gets vommitted at me on daily basis. The shitty part, my integrity prevents me from giving them anything but the best representation.

2023-07-06 18:15:48 +0000 UTCMy partner was previously under employed and was on the ACA for her insurance. Unfortunately most of the participating hospitals here in Michigan are Catholic. Which means when she went to a doctor to discuss painful periods and asked if she could experiment with some low hormone birth control. She was told "well we are a faith based institution and I can not even discuss birth control with you" A whole avenue of treatment cut off because of a shitty Ghost Dad that makes Cosby look good. Of course this only really counts for the poors.
I'd rather be listening to, Sisters of Your Sunshine Vapor.
2023-07-06 14:42:30 +0000 UTCWhile I was listening to Noah’s diatribe, I was playing Knotwords and through Noah’s anger, I figured out a word was “downer.” So, I agree with both Noah and the Knotwords puzzle.

2023-07-06 14:13:01 +0000 UTCA great example of what Noah was saying in the diatribe: http://religionclause.blogspot.com/2023/07/court-strongly-criticizes-performance.html The Satanic Temple's filing was dismissed out of hand because the court thinks that their beliefs don't count.

2023-07-06 14:08:43 +0000 UTCOh, this diatribe is so good yet makes me so angry. Great job, Noah.
