Great Book Salon today, Foodopoly. Dday and KagroX are Virtually Speaking this evening. Movie Night Monday is The Revolutionary Optimists. See you here and there.

As for the listings: Jeb Bush is exceptionally busy selling his book and starting up his campaign for president, as if we haven’t had more than enough from the Bush clan lo these many years. I wish there were saints to preserve us.

Rabbit’s gonna give you tough love.

A lot of the same old, same old on today (surprise!) and also Gene Sperling many times, but even though Bob Woodward does show up in a roundtable, he isn’t matched up with Sperling.

Good morning! Watertiger’s coming in today for Book Salon, and so is Joe Biden – well, the Onion version of Joe Biden. Should be a ball. And tonight’s our annual Oscars Gala (fluffing my boas now), don’t miss it. As for the listings, there’s an exclusive appearance by John McCain! Surprising, I know. WASHINGTON JOURNAL. [...]

Good morning! Looks like Bob Schieffer is still all a-Benghazied. And President Obama’s new chief of staff is making the rounds today. Aaand one more Republican rebuttal to the State of the Union, this one’s from Paul Ryan. How many do they get? FDL Book Salon this afternoon is Abraham Lincoln and his love of [...]

Hi, just firing up the Pancake-omatic here so I can make you breakfast (Marion deserves a day off every now and then, no?). Can someone set the table?

The main topic on the shows this morning is the upcoming State of the Union speech, which of course we will be covering Tuesday evening.

I’ve been listening to the fringes of talk radio for years. The people running the media companies that distribute these shows usually don’t listen. If they did they would be appalled. The hosts often say things that would never be allowed if that host worked in that company’s office.

Ahh, what a super morning! Football, love it or hate it, always good eats. FDL Book Salon is Who Stole the American Dream, be here. Tonight has emptywheel, digby and McJoan Virtually Speaking. Tomorrow’s Movie Night is We Are Legion, The Story of the Hacktavists. There’s some football wedged into today’s shows, but it is [...]

Codebreaker is Movie Night Monday’s offering, the story of Alan Turing. He was a giant of a mind and it’s shocking that he was driven to suicide at the relatively young age of 41 just because he was gay. He was frank about his sexuality, all but negating the concern that that information could be used as blackmail against him; nevertheless he underwent chemical castration (good god). I can’t begin to imagine what we as a society lost because of of this idiotic prejudice. We owe him so much.

I hear people talking about how hard it will be to get this new public safety bill passed. The media pick this up and include it in all their stories, as if the playing field didn’t change after Newtown. They are being told that the NRA post Newtown has the same power as pre-Newton.

As Joe Biden would say: Malarkey.

This afternoon we have The Amistad Rebellion for FDL Book Salon. Dday and Stuart Zechman will be Virtually Speaking in the evening. And tomorrow evening Lisa presents The DVD OF TIKI, Vol. 1 “Paradise Lost” – Mai Tais all around!

As for the listings: “When was the last time John McCain *wasn’t* on the Sunday shows?” Peterr asks. Be thankful for small favors.
