Thank you for helping get the word out about Useful Idiots!
Useful Idiots is a wonderful place of both knowledge and entertainment. I believe I've been here since the beginning, so to speak, with the Tulsi Gabbard interview, when things were all Rolling Stoned in a Manhattan office space and a button with an 80s pop song jingle that was quite fun. Obviously Rolling Stone went Corporate/CIA since then, which explains why Matt left and Useful Idiots left. Some folks still don't get that UI (not the University of Indiana, or Hoosiers) is not a "right wing front organization!" It's chilliberal, a place to cool off and consider what the Hell is going on. Thank you all for the fantastic "content," as "content" is what They, the Corporation, calls it these days. Since I'm on The Duran I will drop a line about Useful Idiots there. If you can, get The Duran on your show; my guess is that Alex and Alexander will oblige. In the meantime, Peace, and be well
