Today, on the Ed Morrissey Show (3 pm ET), Today, on the Ed Morrissey Show (3 pm ET), Kevin McCullough joins us again to discuss the intersection of faith and politics, and we may be joined by The Anchoress. Kevin and I will discuss the efforts made by beauty pageant officials to shut up Miss California after Perez Hilton ambushed her with a gay-marriage question. We’ll also talk about Mary Ann Glendon’s refusal to participate in Notre Dame’s commencement ceremony when the Catholic university honors Barack Obama with an honorary degree. Do liberals despise American patriots? And Kevin will explain the latest in Obamessiah imagery, as will The Anchoress.

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.

We’re also holding a fundraising drive for Twin Cities Marriage Encounter, and I’ll talk with Kevin about our experiences this weekend. Below is the PayPal button for donations to this non-profit, which tries to build stronger communities by strengthening marriages. Donations are tax deductible!
