TODAY'S SHOW: MONDAY, MAY 19TH 2008
The Senate is probably going to vote on the new GI Bill tomorrow and our guest Paul Rieckhoff from Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America thinks that it just might pass despite John McCain's auspicious opposition to it. If it does pass, the bill will end up on Bush's desk. Will Bush be the first president in history to veto a veterans' benefits bill during war time? Find out if your Senators have signed on to the bill HERE. If they haven't, them HERE
Rachel will also be talking to Jeff Sharlet, contributing editor at Harper's and Rolling Stone, about his latest book, “The Family: The Secret
Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power”
Oregon paper ballots
Cap'n, I didn't have to register to access your link...
... which was good because I had a question about how long it would take to actually get the OR primary results, because of the mail-in ballots. But all ballots must be received by 8pm PT tomorrow.
Still, is there any sort of estimate on when we might have "final" OR results? On the East Coast, methinks not tomorrow night. But then again, we'll probably be agonizing over only a delegate or two.
And, as much as I enjoy watching Rachel, Keith, and Gene Robinson, I don't think I can take another marathon of Pat Buchanan ranting and double-tomahawk-chopping through 6 freaking hours of coverage that won't result in any meaningful conclusions. Hey Rachel, can you please find a way to stop Uncle Pat's arms from moving? Or just send him to Atlanta for Mets vs. Braves tomorrow night.
