Mark was only on for about 20 minutes. That's why the fast forward button was invented. 

That said, this was a very calm and reasoned conversation, most about political philosophers. There was no screaming. Give it a chance for a couple of minutes. I bet you're pleasantly surprised. 

"And now, I'd like to sing a few of my favorite Ray Charles songs."

Mammograms aren't the same procedure as breast screening exams and other breast-health services for low-income, uninsured, and under-insured women, which is what this money was being used for.

Ending the screening exams and education programs won't save a single unborn life, but it may contribute to thousands of adult ones. Someone explain the logic of that decision to me, because I don't get it. 

Erskine Bowles is on the Facebook board. Other prominent Washington insiders who work for Facebook include Joe Lockhart, a former White House spokesman under Clinton; Marne Levine, who was chief of staff of the National Economic Council; and Joel Kaplan, a deputy chief of staff in the Bush administration. Former Obama Press Secretary Robert Gibbs was reported to be going to work there as well, but did not end up joining the company. That decision probably cost him a couple of million bucks. 

Supporting? On the contrary, Gus. I consider it a public service warning. You now have plenty of time to cancel your HBO subscription before the next billing cycle begins. You're welcome. 

Law Talk is really John and Richard's show and we don't book guests on it. It's just not that kind of show. That said, we'll look into having Hadley and Richard on another show in the near future. 

We're going a different direction next week: Mark Levin will be our guest. The following week, the return of Pat Sajak.

Franco, Our relationship with Encounter Books does not preclude us from discussing other books. There is no exclusivity clause. 

Mark Levin? He'll be on the Ricochet Podcast this coming week to discuss his book.

Grantman, you are correct. I did not record this one and tried to make adjustments on it before we published it. We'll endeavor to do better on the next one. 

This is the problem with working with someone 8 time zones ahead of you. You never know what you'll wake up to. We'll have this up in a couple of hours. 

Have to disagree on this point. While she works for the Post, she's a blogger and her work is not edited by anyone at the paper. Say what you want about Jennifer, bur her views are most definitely her own. 

Working on that...

Seconded! The site would be much less enjoyable if EJ wasn't around. 

Ha!

If in fact there was one. Deciding when an interview is going to run is more commonly known as "programming." 

Look, I'm no defender of ABC News. But I don't think Drudge, who has absolutely no journalistic standards at all, ought to get a free pass here. 

And by the media, you mean Drudge, right? He's the one driving this story now, not ABC.
