Today, on the Ed Morrissey Show (3 pm ET), Kevin McCullough joins us again to talk about the latest in politics! I’ll be doing my show from the Western offices of TEMS, while Kevin joins us from his undisclosed location. Kevin and I will talk about the meaning of Obama’s picks for his national-security team, with Robert Gates and Gen. James Jones providing some basis for optimism, and Susan Rice and Samantha Power grist for worry. We’ll also talk about genetic testing for sports abilities, and sports of another kind in yet another Minnesota public bathroom stall.

We’ll also talk about BMX Radio Now, Kevin and Stephen’s exploding success in independent talk radio, as well as Kevin’s book, The Kind of Man Every Man Should Be: Taking a Stand for True Masculinity.

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