On this week’s episode of the Charles C. W. Cooke Podcast, I take a look at the case of hockey player, Ivan Provorov, and argue that a tolerance for political silence should, in almost every imaginable circumstance, be the default position.
My guest is Billy Binion, a writer at Reason who tells me about the disturbing case of Geraldine Tyler, a 94-year-old Minnesota woman who had the entire value of her house stolen by the state government because she fell behind on her property taxes.
And, in the Q&A section, I answer questions about Florida’s summer heat, how I came to follow the Gators, and whether Americans are really as divided as the commentariat likes to believe, before segueing awkwardly into another Jacksonville Jaguars Update.
That word I just used — “segueing” — looks wrong somehow, doesn’t it? But, apparently, it’s not. I just looked it up. I think it’s the three vowels in a row: “uei.” That’s extremely rare in English. A full list of similar words can be found here.
