Particularly odious from the link you provided was the picture of the killer, which features an American flag. Such acts desecrate the flag of our country, which represents freedom (including freedom of worship and freedom of speech and freedom of opinion). I do recommend Batchelor. I don't always agree with him, or his guests, but I respect his intelligence and his skill as an interviewer and host. And boy don't I get book recommendations . . . :-) Ellid: Yes, that was a horrible thing.

Alan Dershowitz did call the Bishop an anti-Semite, but Dershowitz is not precisely a sterling example of moral probity (hello, Claus von Bulow!). As for a conservative who actually lets his guests talk...would that there were more like him. I was never a big fan of William F. Buckley but at least he was polite and thought out his positions. O'Reilly, Limbaugh, and the odious Glenn Beck simply scream, and have done much to inflame political discourse to the point that <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knoxville_Unitarian_Universalist_church_shooting" rel="nofollow">this happened</a> a few years ago. It's terrifying, and so unnecessary.

If I were going (and I'm clearly not), I could fill a decent amount of very interesting time just jumping back and forth between your activities and his. Oh, and the Foglios have the same KaffeeKlatsch. Looks like a great time! Hey, David Malki ! will be there, as well.
