Today on The Ed Morrissey Show (3 pm ET), we welcome a special guest — Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty.  Governor Pawlenty will discuss his Wall Street Journal essay on the danger of public-sector pensions and the obstacle of unions in addressing them.  We’ll also ask about his new book, Courage to Stand: An American Story, which is available for preorder now in advance of its January 11th release date. I’m quite certain that the weather will also come up, as it does between Minnesotans, especially after the historic storm this weekend.

Kevin McCullough can’t make it today, due to scheduling conflicts, but we’ll get him back next week before Christmas arrives.  Jazz Shaw will help debate today’s court ruling on ObamaCare, Obama’s potential status as a million-dollar man, and the upcoming Jets/Steelers game.

The Ed Morrissey Show and its dynamic chatroom can be seen on the permanent TEMS page — — be sure to join us, and don’t forget to keep up with the debate on my Facebook page, too!
