Summary: It’s the first part of the show with Freddie O’Connell and Ashley “Ear Candy” Crownover, filling in for a traveling Mary. Bread? Really? We learn that Dumbledore is fabulous, perhaps inspiring Larry Craig in his chamber of secrets. We also learn that Stephen Colbert was just waiting for Mary to leave the country to […]

Your humble hosts have been given the keys to the kingdom over at Volunteer Voters by Kleinheider, who is temporarily at an undisclosed location. We’re not the only ones, either, so go see who does the best ACK impression! And try to figure out whether Ashley does a better Mary impression or we do a […]

5 years on, I wonder how Sen. Clinton, the current Democratic frontrunner for the presidential nomination for 2008, answers to herself, “Was it worth it?” I know the position of the Republican candidates (save Ron Paul). I know my own answer, and the answer is “no”. Especially when I reflect on what else $1.2 trillion could buy.

Summary: FOL John Flanbsurgh of They Might Be Giants is back and better than ever. We discuss Julie Andrews and the possible anti-semitic theme that runs through The Sound of Music, strident 3-year-olds, and TMBG’s latest album, The Else (Buy Now) (which some say is their Magic).

Summary: It’s a Liberadio(!) Round Table discussion with former Tennessean columnist Tim Chavez, Press Secretary for the Tennessee House Democratic Caucus, Addison Pate, and Clean Cities of Middle Tennessee Executive Director, Dave Pelton. Is health care a right? And do Republicans really believe Al Gore is a do-nothing and the Nobel Peace Prize isn’t worth […]

Summary: What do you get when you mix two sleep-deprived radio hosts, one research fellow, John Gibson, and Ann Coulter? The Media Matters for America Smackdown with Elbert Ventura!

Summary: Al Gore wins the noble prize (but he only came in 3rd for Nashville’s Best Local Liberal –Ed.) and unlike the right-wing media echo chamber, we think it’s not only a huge deal but also something to celebrate mightily.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that green is the new black, thanks in part to new Nobel laureate Al Gore. And if you’re reading this, a blog, it means that you obviously haven’t been living under a rock. So even though I’m probably not drawing any new attention to “the environment”, I thought it would still be fun to participate in Blog Action Day.

What would you do if you only had $3 a day to spend on food? Sure you could eat from the dollar menu at your local McDonalds but if you did, as we saw in the documentary film Super Size Me, you could kiss your energy level, brain function, and the delicate internal balance needed […]

It’s a combination that eclipses chocolate & peanut butter, warm apple pie & coffee, and Gore/Obama ‘08. Ladies and gentleman, Maureen Dowd and Stephen Colbert do the Sunday New York Times. Together.
Dowd: I called Colbert with a dare: if he thought it was so easy to be a Times Op-Ed pundit, he should try […]
