Did the World Change For You this Weekend?

I'm still waiting for the miracle we were promised, but all I saw was a guy preaching Jesus.  Sorry, but that's no miracle in my book. On today's show, we'll look at what Glenn Beck delivered, and what he didn't, with a guy who's been studying the would-be messiah and his ilk for a while now.  Will Bunch, a senior write at the Philadelphia Daily News (also the man behind their Attytood blog), and a senior fellow at Media Matters for America, has spent the last couple of years visiting the strongholds of the RWNJs in America, trying to figure [...]

When Disasters Converge

This weekend, we'll see the media reporting on two disasters. I wonder which one will get more coverage? Sunday marks the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. The devastation to New Orleans could have been avoided, yet apparently not much has been done to make sure there's not a repeat. On Saturday, some of the nation's most ignorant and intolerant will gather in Washington DC to desecrate the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. at the place he delivered, and on the 47th anniversary of his "I Have A Dream" speech. Glenn Beck is a fear monger of the worst [...]

The Morning After

OK, so I was wrong with a couple of my predictions.  Florida's loathsome Attorney General, Bill McCollum, will not be running for Governor after all. Perhaps it was his decision to take Florida's taxpayers money to spearhead a misguided attempt by a group of AGs to sue  the federal government over the health care law.  But whatever the reason, the Republicans of Florida decided that the sleazy billionaire Rick Scott--who didn't bother to show up at any debates with his opponent, including one just four days ago where he sent his mother in his stead-- would make a better candidate! [...]

Is it April 20 yet?

Mondays creep up on us entirely too quickly. But they always arrive and we deal with them... Today was a day I had been dreading, as I was truly frightened about what it might bring. Not because it's Monday, but because today is April 19, 2010 -- the 15th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing. It was a day that gun worshipers decided was a fitting day to hold pro-gun rallies in and near our nation's capital. Timothy McVeigh apparently chose April 19 as the date to bomb the federal building in Oklahoma City because two years earlier, the Branch [...]

Live from NY… checking in quickly

I've been going pretty much non-stop since landing in NY on Wednesday. Unfortunately, I've had only spotty internet access...thus the reason for the lack of much commentary since my arrival. But while I'm connected and have a few minutes, let me share with you some of the action I've seen. Wednesday 3/17 ... St. Patty's Day. To me, there's nothing like a partying holiday in NYC! The cab brought me from LaGuardia airport directly to the building above Radio City Music Hall, which is where Premiere Radio is headquartered. I went there to guest-host the Randi Rhodes Show... and the [...]

Florida, Florida, Florida!

For once, I didn't think "Flori-DUH". Today, I was actually proud of a couple of our elected officials. First, kudos to Senator Bill Nelson (something I never imagined I'd write on this blog!) for being the 41st Senator to state publicly that he'd back the public insurance option as part of a health care bill moved through reconciliation.  He told Huffington Post's Ryan Grim that today, and Ryan told us all about it on tonight's show! I also spoke with Ryan about the other member of Florida's Congressional delegation of whom I'm especially proud this evening, Alan Grayson, who today [...]
