I missed the second half-hour of the show (as usual), so I'll be wondering what brought on that comment for the rest of the day.

Instead of calling voter fraud fears a "Republican Fantasy", I think it should be called the "Republican Delusion", its more accurate sounding, to me. A fantasy sounds like something desirable, where a Delusion sounds like mental disability.

How is flying on an airplane now become a right? Seems to me that the airlines should have the right to exclude riders who are on the list. However, a citizen must have an enforceable right to challenge the govt for inappropriatel list management.

"If you wonder why and when giant corporations got the power to reign supreme over us, here’s the story."

—Jim Hightower, national radio commentator and author of Swim Against the Current

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 The Thom Hartmann Reader:

"Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions."

—Bill McKibben, author of Eaarth
