What does the crude commentary at last night’s Effing Golden Globes mean for American culture? What does the death of John Travolta’s son tell us about faith healing? We’ll also talk about BMX Radio Now, Kevin and Stephen’s exploding success in independent talk radio — 162 stations and counting! — as well as Kevin’s book, The Kind of Man Every Man Should Be: Taking a Stand for True Masculinity.

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.

Please note The Ed Morrissey Show or Hot Air on the memo line so that we can keep track for the match challenge:
