The Ed Morrissey Show: Jazz Shaw, Rick Moran, JD Johannes

Today, on the Ed Morrissey Show (3 pm ET), we’ll do a rountable with some good friends. Jazz Shaw and Rick Moran will be with us for the hour, talking about the latest in politics, but the two Pajamas Media columnists will discuss Joe the Plumber’s new gig in Israel. JD Johannes, a veteran war correspondent, will join us for a while to give us his perspective on war reporting and Joe’s new assignment. We’re going to talk about the status of New York’s open Senate seat, as well as how I wound up in a snow bank this morning in -15 degree weather.

We’re also holding a fundraising drive for Twin Cities Marriage Encounter. I’ll be posting PayPal buttons for one-time and automatic monthly donations to this non-profit, which tries to build stronger communities by strengthening marriages, on my show posts until the end of the year. We now have a matching challenge!. If we can raise $1500 by January 15th, an anonymous Hot Air reader will match those funds himself. Donations are tax deductible! Please note The Ed Morrissey Show or Hot Air on the memo line so that we can keep track for the match challenge:
