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:
"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 Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Hartmann combines a remarkable piece of historical research with a brilliant literary style to tell the grand story of corporate corruption and its consequences for society with the force and readability of a great novel."
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."
McConnell was already in deep trouble as an incumbent in a statistical tie with Alison Grimes. Of course, the fact that Grimes is strong, brright and wants to represent the people of Kentucky had a lot to do with it. Now that McConnell has admitted he is owned by the Koch Brothers, he should start making retirement plans.
Do Kentucky voters care ? They have voted for this old far right wing hateful coot many times I'm about to give up on voters in red states being well informed / doing whats right for the country & the middle class. . McConnell & pals give me the creeps
Alison Grimes is giving everyone a lesson on how to face off with an opponent. Her strength of conviction, smart answers to questions, and honest approach are working.
I would like to think it would hurt him, but voters are very dumbed down in those states.
Alison Grimes represents no real challenge to Mitch. Normally, a comment like this would have a strong impact, and despite the local media's efforts, there won't be any serious damage done.
