When I was a kid, I would sometimes try to watch The McLaughlin Group. I could never watch it for more than one or two minutes because it just seemed like a bunch of old people arguing about things I didn’t understand. Now that I’m an adult, however, I feel blessed that John McLaughlin is still alive somehow. I watch his show every Sunday morning with an entirely new perspective. For me, The McLaughlin Group is now like a weekly lesson on the importance of educated public discourse. Straight from the horse’s mouth! Right before the horse is turned into glue.

Here’s last week’s entire episode, condensed into 2 minutes.

That took a lot less editing than you think.

I love that The McLaughlin Group is exactly as it was 20 years ago. Nothing has changed. Everything is exactly the same. Except, at some point, the set was moved to its current location: the nursing home at the Church of the Wrong Grail.
