      <description><![CDATA[<p>Nothing like a peaceful Sunday morning at the end of an exhausting, historically-volatile week to pour a hot cup of coffee and spew absolutely scalding takes in all directions. If you get burned, don't say I didn't warn you. Read the message on the lid.</p>
<p>We've done 34 of these now and my mailbag is getting full of old e-mails that don't make sense anymore. Please email new stuff to me at <a href="mailto:podcast@searls.co">podcast@searls.co</a> and we, like civilization, will start fresh next time!</p>
<p>Video of this edition of the show is <a href="https://youtu.be/y6G5a_myb4M">up on YouTube</a>.</p>
