Dear Dispatch Members,

We are back for another Monthly Mailbag. 

Last month, Declan told us all about how TMD comes together every day, his love of Chicago sports, and the origins of his name. If you missed it, you can read it here. 

This month, Rachael Larimore has signed up to take on your questions.

    Many in the Republican base (primarily MAGA adherents) have stated they think the time has come to implement an authoritarian government. Which model should they use: Russia’s, Venezuela’s, North Korea’s, Iran’s, or China’s? I would suggest China’s. The Republican Party is in charge. It isn’t subject to the whims of a single individual. It sets policy with the titular head implementing it. Your thoughts?

    What Congressional inquiry into a fictional event (novel/movie/TV show) would you most like to to cover as a journalist?

    Here’s an important question. Which style IPA is best? New England? Midwest? West coast hops?

    What are you teaching your sons about chauvinism and chivalry? What did you think of Jonah’s podcast with Richard Reeves?

    How does the third boy affect the family dynamic? We have 2 boys (3 and 5) and are considering trying for another. My wife wants a girl but I am fine with whatever but worried about the amount of testosterone (uplifted toilet seats, army guys, fighting, etc.) that she will have to deal with.

    I would like to understand the incomprehensible belief that Chevy Chase is funny. 😎 Thanks

    What's the most similar between political and sports journalism, and what's the most different? Do you ever miss sports journalism, or do you think you have found your calling (if you believe in that)?

    Here are a few “softball” questions for the former sportswriter:

    Does it take very long to get used to a new writer’s style when you start editing for them? And do you have a secret favorite you like to edit? (you know, like your kids 😉)

    Can you think of a reason why Bell's Two Hearted Ale wouldn’t be classified as the best widely available bottled IPA in America (with the worst label)?

    Do drivers with Ohio plates get tickets on the turn pike or is just us Michiganders? (though the troopers are nice enough to have the credit card machine readily available so we can pay on the spot 😅)

    Who has the best shot at making a Super Bowl appearance in our lifetimes, Browns or Lions? (my best guess is neither).

      I haven’t seen Two Hearted push polled before. But you aren’t wrong!
