Thom Hartmann isn't on air today and Nicole Sandler is filling in. With the on-going work with the new studio, we regret that it is not possible to provide either an audio or video feed to the website.

Why are the conservative crazies pissing on our heads and telling us that it is raining?

@Gerald:
Indeed. I had an email conversation with Mike Ruppert (author of Crossing the Rubicon) a few years ago and touched on the subject of Bin-Laden. He essentially snorted, said "He's been dead for years" and moved on to the next subject. Clear to me that he, like other intelligence experts, has no doubt that Bin-Laden is simply being used a boogie-man by those that profit from generating fear.

@scottgee1, our federal government's lies are to keep us in fear and in line. Americans are only mushrooms - they keep us in the dark and they feed us crap. That is why most Americans have a shit-eating grin.

From Cracking the Code:
"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."
From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
"With the on-going work with the new studio, we regret that it is not possible to provide either an audio or video feed to the website."
I'm confused; why the big rush to get to a studio in D.C. that wasn't/isn't even ready to go?
