Today, on the Ed Morrissey Show (3 pm ET), we’ll take a look at the past week with Duane “Generalissimo” Patterson of the Hugh Hewitt Show. Duane and I will look at unemployment numbers, Howard Dean’s demand to end capitalism, and Arlen Specter’s switch. All of this and more — and stay tuned for a preview of tonight’s Hugh Hewitt Show.
