653: Evil Layer Cake
ISIS Beheading Question, Brigadier General Anne McDonald, Decolate
Brigadier General Anne McDonald, acting as a judge, asked Miss Virginia about the appropriate U.S. response to ISIS beheadings. The hosts debate the use of the word "decolate" as a more refined synonym for beheading or decapitation. They find the inclusion of a high-ranking military official in a beauty pageant to be a "disgusting" example of cultural normalization of war.
