Today, on the Ed Morrissey Show (3 pm ET), assuming I get back in time from the doctor’s office with the First Mate, we’re going to have a big show for everyone. First, we’ll welcome back Lila Rose from Live Action’s Mona Lisa Project, to tell us about her latest video of Planned Parenthood breaking the law. In the second half, we’ll meet Dr. Robert Murphy, the author of the newly-released The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Great Depression and the New Deal.

And we’ll have bonus time today! At 4 pm, we’ll welcome back Tommy Christopher and Caleb Howe, who will debate torture, Meghan McCain, and who knows what else! Catch them both at Politics Daily!

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:

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