Thursday 14 August '08 show
- Guest: Kristan Hawkins, Students for Life. Does the new Planned Parenthood ad targeting teens about oral sex cross the line? She's offended by the videos on takecaredownthere.org web site put up by Planned Parenthood, Oregon where kids of any age could see it, but she's only upset because it is public funded - he organization does get some public funds. She is calling for defunding of Planned Parenthood.
- Bumper Music: Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This),Eurythmics (video).
- Why can we talk about murder that few do, but not about sex that most do?
- Article: Georgia War a Neocon Election Ploy? Robert Scheer.
"Is it possible that this time the October surprise was tried in August, and that the garbage issue of brave little Georgia struggling for its survival from the grasp of the Russian bear was stoked to influence the U.S. presidential election?
Before you dismiss that possibility, consider the role of one Randy Scheunemann, for four years a paid lobbyist for the Georgian government who ended his official lobbying connection only in March, months after he became Republican presidential candidate John McCain

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom is a national treasure. Read him, embrace him, learn from him, and follow him as we all work for social change."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a creative thinker and committed small-d democrat. He has dealt with a wide range of topics throughout his life, and this book provides an excellent cross section. The Thom Hartmann Reader will make people both angry and motivated to act."
From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
