Next, we spoke with the creator of our great intro music, Rocky Mountain Mike, to celebrate some of his awesome political parodies we heard throughout the election season.  Of course Mike's links are up with every blog post, but don't forget to check out his awesome parodies on his Sound Cloud.. In the last hour, we spoke with Desi Doyen, of The Brad Blog and The Green News Report.  Desi explained why we should be furious about the recent $4.5 Billion settlement between BP and the Federal government - and how there are many more penalties in the works for the company that caused the biggest natural disaster in our nation's history. We won't be here next week, so we wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving and don't forget to share your ideas for a "right-wing relative" hashtag!    Thanks to Rocky Mountain Mike for writing and producing our incredible theme music!
