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 The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Through compelling personal stories, Hartmann presents a dramatic and deeply disturbing picture of humans as a profoundly troubled species. Hope lies in his inspiring vision of our enormous unrealized potential and his description of the path to its realization."
From Screwed:
"Once again, Thom Hartmann hits the bull’s eye with a much needed exposé of the so-called ‘free market.’ Anyone concerned about the future of our nation needs to read Screwed now."
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."

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