[Explicit Language] Actor/comedian Carlos Alazraqui joins us to discuss the so-called dirtbag left -- alleged liberals who reject party unity in lieu of personal agendas, while attacking everyone else as corporatist Dems and party apologists. You might know Carlos from from the Stephanie Miller Show, Reno 911 as "Garcia," Rocko's Modern Life, Spongebob Square Pants, The Fairly OddParents -- so many roles that there are two Wikipedia pages to cover all of his things. Carlos has been on a crusade against podcaster Jimmy Dore and has a unique insight into his worldview. You can follow Carlos on Twitter here.

Plus we analyze Neil Peart's lyrics to a classic song by Rush called "The Trees," and how, even though it's a great Rush song, the lyrics warn that equality has unintended consequences. Donna is a professor of media analysis, a prolific writer, and a former broadcaster who introduced American radio audiences to Rush (the band).
