Few things make me as angry as when some Republican fool attempts to divert the blame away from himself by saying “mistakes were made” instead of “we made mistakes” or the more endearing and usually more honest “I screwed up and for that I’m terribly sorry.”

In the second hour, Richard “RJ” Eskow took a break from The Zero Hour radio show and his blog at the Campaign for America’s Future to chat with me about music (and his recent gig with Michelle Shocked!) as well as his latest article, “Obama’s Trade War Against Warren Wounds His Party – And His Legacy .”
Tonight, I’ll be speaking at the Oakland Park Democratic Club meeting on “The Foxification of the Media.” If you’re here in South Florida, come on out and say hello. The meeting is at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation, 3970 NW 21st Ave, Oakland Park, FL 33309 beginning at 7pm.
If you can’t make it, I’ll see you back here tomorrow morning, radio or not!
