Romney's taxes:
It's funny how many of the same people who made a big deal of Obama's birth certificate, don't think that Romney's taxes are a big deal.

Hopefully, the transcript this rant regarding conservatives and the evils they do will find itself posted on the website . . . (Hint. Hint.).

"The source of the information should be part of the information."
You'll have to prepare an argument to explain why a journalist may keep his sources secret.

Please, please, please. Post the transcript of the rant on being a conservative from today's show. It was truly an amazing reflection on how the conservative movement has affected us historically, and how it continues to try to move us backwards. It needs to be heard and read again.

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 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:
"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 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."
I just read an article in Bloomberg BusinessWeek about the Mormon Church's business activities. There's some concern about the lack of financial transparency, even to the church members that tithe. No one can tell if there's any separation of funds between the religious and business activities.
