Calling All Wingnuts

I’m just busy looking for a place to live in Charlottesville.  Been a busy and time consuming coupla days.  Will be back at home, posting regularly, on Thursday - until the following Wednesday when I leave for YearlyKos.
Anyone else gonna be there?  I give a workshop Friday morning at 8:30…

Last night I called the Jim Bohannon Show to talk about Global warming with Judd Legum and Professor Bollinger from Arizona State.  Bollinger is working for Exxon Mobil, Legum for The Center For American Progress.
it was like shooting fish in a barrel.

This time it was Jack Murtha.
Rep. Murtha (no ideological friend of mine - he’s much to conservative and hawkish for my taste) talked yesterday about the massacre that took place in Haditha, Iraq last November.
Bruce - a Pajama’s Media contributor - took issue […]
