Links and interviews from Monday’s Show

Posted by Mary Mancini on May 2, 2006 under Uncategorized |

We spent a half hour with John Flansburgh of They Might Be Giants on Monday morning covering so many topics…tax increases, the national anthem, Senator Clinton, found treasures, the Daily Show, and the importance of participatory democracy. Funny though, we never talked about strippers. Link: http://www.liberadio.com/audio/liberadio_flansburgh_interview.mp3. TMBG are at City Hall in Nashville this Friday, May 5th.

And Jim Derych, author of Confessions of a Former Dittohead, provides insight into how a dittohead brain reacts to the major political and social issues of the day to show how they think AND what liberals and progressives can do to try and change that thinking. Jim says that we should never say “Bush is a liar” to a dittohead. Jim is taking all the fun out of our day. Link: http://www.liberadio.com/audio/liberadio_derych_interview.mp3. Jim will be signing his book 6 pm on Thursday night at David Kidd Booksellers in Green Hills Mall.

Dubai again?!?! Are these people without sense?!?!

Senator Arlen Specter does not like this whole domestic wiretapping thing. “Where is the outrage?” indeed.

“President Bush has quietly claimed the authority to disobey more than 750 laws enacted since he took office, asserting that he has the power to set aside any statute passed by Congress when it conflicts with his interpretation of the Constitution….” “Constitutional interpretation” or power-grab?
