In addition to talking about breaking news, and absentee Gov. TBag getting caught with his hands in the cookie jar, we’ll be talking again with Mike Tikkanen, author of “Invisible Children (The American cycle of abuse and its cost).” Mike Tikkanen is the founder of Kid’s At Risk Action Group (KARA), a non-profit devoted to protecting and advocating for the rights of abused children. If you are concerned about the least among us, and those that Mike advocates for – children – are just that, this is a show you won’t want to miss.

Especially because the following quote is sure to be discussed:

“Children who are victims of failed personal responsibility are not my problem, nor are they the problem for our government.” — Majority Leader Tim Pawlenty, April 2001 – as quoted in the Aitkin Independent Newspaper (entire column available here)

And in honor of the recent release of “False Witness! The Michele Bachmann Story (Volume 3)“, we’ll definitely play “False Or False Witness!” where one lucky caller will have to correctly identify if a quote I read was actually uttered by Michele Bachmann (answer “False Witness!”) or if yours truly, the ol’ TwoPutter, simply made it up (answer “false”). The fabulous prize awarded, courtesy of show sponsor Common Good Books, is one copy of Bill Prendergast’s exceptional comic book: “False Witness! The Michele Bachmann Story (Volume 3)”!!!

Tonight’s quote is one that clearly demonstrates something I always say:

“Hypocrisy, Thy Party Is GOP”
