Today, on the Ed Morrissey Show (3 pm ET), Jim Geraghty joins us to discuss the latest in politics! We’ll talk about Hillary Clinton’s easy confirmation, Eric Holder’s hearings, and whether Tim Geithner can keep his spot at Treasury. We’ll also talk about the most conservative movies in the last 25 years and the debate in our comments section — so stay tuned!

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:
