On today’s BradCast, we catch up and clean up a number of messes that got buried — or, in the case of one story, flowed down stream — amid last week’s incredibly busy news week.
Desi Doyen joins me to cover a whole bunch of stories today: from Jon Stewart’s final Daily Show; to the jury’s verdict in the sentencing phase for the Aurora, CO movie theater shooter; to the shootings that didn’t happen at a movie theater in TN last week; to a few comments from the Fox ‘News’/GOP debate that the media didn’t focus on because the comments didn’t have anything to do with Donald Trump (although one really important one did).
Plus: Breaking news out of Ferguson, MO today and the new toxic mess now fouling waterways in the U.S. Southwest. Buckle up and enjoy!…

“I have a feeling we’re snot in Kansas, Toto.”
Wichita State Mathematician Says Kansas Voting Machines Need Audit
A mathematician at Wichita State University who wanted to check the accuracy of some Kansas voting machines after finding odd patterns in election returns said she is finding out how difficult it can be to get government officials to turn over public documents.
Beth Clarkson, a certified quality engineer with a doctorate in statistics, said her calculations from the November election showed enough patterns to suspect that “some voting systems were being sabotaged.”
Sedgwick County election officials refused to allow the computer records to be part of a recount and told her that to get paper recordings of votes, she would have to go to court and fight for them, said Clarkson, who is also the chief statistician for WSU’s National Institute for Aviation Research …
UPDATE: Sedgwick County election officials have agreed to provide the records Clarkson seeks if she’ll first bring them “a broomstick believed to be in Megyn Kelly’s possession.”

Not to worry, The Nightly Show is still in production, even during the dog days of summer. Larry Wilmore and Mike Yard are like if Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and his assistant Beaker were real people and they did a news show together.
The Bradcast of Aug 11 (2015) was the BEST by far of the past few weeks! I was getting “burned out” on your Trump following. Thanks for talking about The Bern. Also, the report on Ferguson was nicely done, Kudos to that Sputnik Chick!
