It’s another looong show tonight, so I hope you’re ready. With the Clippers playing early (I think they should play early every night, personally), the show should be starting any time now. More importantly, everybody’s favorite reporter (and blog sib-in-law) Mike Boettcher will be talking to Marc, live from Baghdad. Hopefully Marc will ask what Mike thinks about Laura Ingraham being the only “journalist” brave enough to do more than hang her head out of her cushy hotel room window, and do some “real” reporting about how wonderful our glorious leader’s war is going. If it’s so great, why the hell doesn’t she go back over (and take “Bay” Buchanan and that annoying little Republican troll from Florida that was on Bill Maher last week – Ileana Ros-Lehtinen – with her) and stay there?

Also tonight, Matt Taibi’s will be on to talk about his Rolling Stone piece on Jack Abramoff, John Amato of Crooks and Liars will visit, as will Heather Rogers, who will tell us all about garbage.

Don’t worry if the AAR website crashes, ‘cuz we’ll always be here to handle your blogging needs. If you’re out there in La-La Land, you can call the show at 1 (877) 520-1150, or, if you’re somewhere else in the world you can try 1 (800) 783-7412.
