Today, on the Ed Morrissey Show (3 pm ET), we return in style with two great guests from the Washington Examiner. In the first half, Quin Hilyer joins us to talk about his work at the newspaper, and in the second half, we get a visit from Mary Katharine Ham. We’ll talk about the stories of the day, as well as yesterday when I played hooky, and catch up with the Examiner’s efforts.

Update: Quin wants to talk VP choices today, and he’s got some great links for you to follow for your pre-show homework. (Hell, I don’t even have that!) He likes Chris Cox, and we’ll definitely want to drill down into that choice. We’ll also talk about high gas prices.

Update III: MKH unfortunately could not join me due to circumstances beyond her control. We’ll reschedule at her earliest convenience.

Now you can join the conversation in the chat room! Be sure to register at Ustream to participate in our raucous live-chat sessions…
