Welcome Harry Shearer
He is the host of radio's best-titled show, Le Show. He is Spinal Tap's Derek Smalls. He is the voice of Kent Brockman and Mr. Burns, among other Simpsons favorites. He was -- if Wikipedia is to be trusted -- "the precursor to the Eddie Haskell character in the pilot episode for the television series Leave It To Beaver, but his parents decided not to let him continue in the role so that he could have a normal childhood."
And starting today, for a limited time only, he is on Ricochet.
But perhaps most importantly, he is a man on an info-mission -- the man responsible for Kenneth Turan's film pick of the week, an ace muckraking documentary about a certain unnatural disaster that befell New Orleans five years ago. It's called The Big Uneasy. Intrigued? Me too. Put your hands together, ladies and gentlemen, for the one, the only, Harry Shearer.

Re: Welcome Harry Shearer
It is really cool to have a thinking, courteous liberal among us, sort of like Scott Denning going to the climate change skeptic conference.
I applaud Mr. Shearer and welcome his contributions.

I propose that Mr. Burns uphold the evil capitalist side of the debate in future podcasts.
