Kat and Kip discuss dishonesty in intentions-especially petitions, budgeting and reality in policing, Scooby-doing, and much more. And whether we were live and how we apologize.

Kat and Kip kvetch about food, hugging, Bruno Ganz and ballroom bunkers, what's wrong with everyone. And Coagulating. Together.

Episode 55: Kat and Kip Talk About (Almost) Everything

Kat and Kip talk about Star Trek, Firefly, and other Sci Fi classics, video games (Justice Sucks!), coyotes, their only friends: Toys. And a lot more. It's a weird but hopefully entertaining episode.

Kat and Kip discuss the Portland city budget debacle yet again, why austerity measures are offensive when there's not a great understanding of what money exists and how it's been used, why Prosper Portland needs to go away, and why people shouldn't harass or stalk other people. For the YouTube™ version, see https://youtu.be/JrU0iVR1ZkA [https://youtu.be/JrU0iVR1ZkA] Also, the St. John's Fire station #22 was re-funded, even though the vote was not unanimous due to disagreements where the money should come from mostly (still waiting on finding a detailed vote and reasoning to be published). As Kip is a resident of St Johns and the station is just down the street, the station is the ONLY fire station on the peninsula and the closest to the CEI hub. It is unimaginable that this cut was even suggested or unsupported.
