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:
"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 Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
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."
"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?
