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.

Mueller's favorite place to pray (written about in "Prophet's Way"), and the roof of the room where the Last Supper is reputed to have happened.
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann seeks out interesting subjects from such disparate outposts of curiosity that you have to wonder whether or not he uncovered them or they selected him."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"In an age rife with media-inspired confusion and political cowardice, we yearn for a decent, caring, deeply human soul whose grasp of the problems confronting us provides a light by which we can make our way through the quagmire of lies, distortions, pandering, and hollow self-puffery that strips the American Dream of its promise. How lucky we are, then, to have access to the wit, wisdom, and willingness of Thom Hartmann, who shares with us here that very light, grown out of his own life experience."
From Screwed:
"Thom Hartmann’s book explains in simple language and with concrete research the details of the Neo-con’s war against the American middle class. It proves what many have intuited and serves to remind us that without a healthy, employed, and vital middle class, America is no more than the richest Third World country on the planet."

I'm confused; why the big rush to get to a studio in D.C. that wasn't/isn't even ready to go?
