I mostly just sat around on an inflatable green couch rereading Garfield comics, and the day my parents got the internet at our house, the first thing I did was type www.garfield.com into the address bar to pick up where I left off.

When we invited freshman Assemblymember Alex Lee (D – San Jose) to come on the podcast we planned to discuss his ambitious policy proposals, like Universal Health Care, a Wealth Tax, and a ban on corporate donations to political candidates.
