"Someday I might be rich; and then people like me better watch their step." - Philip J. Fry

With another Nixon term looming on the horizon, Leela gets directly involved in democracy by becoming the campaign manager of a promising young candidate. But when it's revealed he may not be of this Earth, the Planet Express gang decides to investigate—and finds a much more shocking secret.

Funny enough today, 10/11/26, is the ten year anniversary of the Madonna and Hillary dancing tweet

The resolution of this episode works on a different level, which may or may not have been intentional by the writers. On a dependable cycle since at least Nixon, a Republican administration has brought the country to a low point, including an economic downturn, foreign policy disasters, and the rolling back of civil rights. The subsequent Democratic administration has to attempt a speed-run of urgent reforms and corrective actions just to keep the country from collapsing into depression. And, as the cycle continues and the crisis is resolved, the Democrat and their legacy all but disappear before our eyes, and the country decides again that maybe the corrupt fascists should get another shot. I wish I understood why this cycle keeps repeating, but it has for my entire life and more. For better or for worse, though, from my observations, this cycle explains American politics a lot better than whether a candidate is (our present day interpretation of) “left” or “right.”

Good episode! Love the circus bit! I do wanna let ya know that transgenderism is considered an outdated word. Just a friendly note from a long term listener who also happens to be trans ✌️😃

What an amazing episode, the circus bit got me every single time. I had to exclusively listen in the car where no one could hear me cackle to myself

Not really true that Canada has simple and unbiased immigration policies -- until relatively recently (maybe within the last five or ten years?) Canada rejected immigration applications from disabled people essentially across the board on the basis that disabled people could be dangers to society and/or a strain on the healthcare system. I believe they still make you undergo a medical exam to temporarily or permanently move there, but the criteria by which they restrict residency or citizenship for disabled people are less severe.

It's been a while since we recorded this one, but... I'm not sure any of us would ever say this? I had a best case scenario for Canadian immigration (outside of being hired by a Canadian employer), and my journey was still complicated, lengthy, and very expensive. AND I needed to give Canada my pee, blood, and x-rays. So they're definitely still scanning for insurance tourism or whatever they want to call it.

As a medical records supervisor for the past 20 years, I can safely say that 99% of the U.S. population doesnt know jack shit about HIPAA

It's an anti-trans dog whistle, too.
