Pigweed and Crowhill celebrate mothers and Mother’s Day.

Mothers are nice to have around. They’re comforting and nurturing, and especially necessary for little children. From the moment a child is conceived, the child has a deep biological connection to mother. The child grows up hearing mother’s heartbeat, her voice, and literally living off her body.

As the child grows, his emotional control is regulated by the mother. He learns what to be scared of and what to trust by watching how mom reacts.

But unfortunately, motherhood has been politicized. Women are taught that being a mother is not a noble pursuit. They have to put career first, marriage and family maybe later. Children should be rushed off to daycare so women can become another cog in the industrial machine.

This morning I heard some clips of Joe Biden from two years ago. He sounded sharp and alert. I didn’t agree with what he was saying, of course, but he sounded like a man in full possession of his faculties.

We’ve all heard clips of him from the past few weeks and months. The man is deteriorating before our eyes. It’s ridiculously obvious, and it’s past time for somebody to end this.

It’s elder abuse to put this man out there as a candidate for president. He’s getting worse by the month, and if there are any debates this fall, …. Well. It will be very sad.

I don’t know if I have ever liked or agreed with Joe Biden, but it’s simply wrong to let him do this, and the party has to intervene.

There comes a time when you have to take the keys away from your father and tell him that he can’t drive anymore. It’s a hard thing to do, but it has to be done.

P&C drink and review Spruce Willis, from DuClaw, then discuss the state of journalism.

Sometimes journalists are simply ignorant. Other times they mix in opinion with the story. In fact, they do that most of the time.

Pigweed and Crowhill review a few recent egregious examples of journalistic malfeasance, like the way the press treated Kavanaugh vs. the way they’re treating Biden.

Later the boys get into science journalism, which is, if possible, even worse.

Pigweed and Crowhill drink and review Pigweed’s Imperial Amber Ale while they listen to a new performance by the Ben Franklin Players. Then they discuss Earth Day and environmentalism.

People today believe the world is bad and getting worse. But if you measure the planet by its ability to promote human flourishing, Earth is getting better all the time. We should be very happy about that! But instead, people think there’s some awful crisis going on.

The engine for all this prosperity is energy, and practically speaking, that means fossil fuels. Or, to put it simply, more fossil fuel use means more human flourishing. It means fewer people in grinding poverty.

Humans should care for the environment so they can promote a better life for humans. That should be the focus of our environmentalism.

I recently recorded an interview with the Close-Minded Podcast about my book, Eggs are Expensive, Sperm is Cheap.

The interview should be available on iTunes shortly, if it isn’t already. It’s available here now.

I also recently recorded the book for audio, and it’s available on Amazon and Audible. Here’s a link.
