Today, on the Ed Morrissey Show (3 pm ET), we have a great show Jimmie Bise of Sundries Shack and American Issues Project joins us for the first time to talk about Section 304 of the cap-and-tax bill that passed the House, and which makes your house a lot less your own. In the second half, Amanda Carpenter returns to TEMS to discuss her interview with Jeremy Renner of The Hurt Locker and the collapse of Barack Obama’s approval ratings.

Now you can join the conversation in the chat room! Be sure to register at Ustream to participate in our raucous live-chat sessions. (And if the log-in prompt doesn’t come up in the chat box below, use this link instead.) Jazz Shaw of The Moderate Voice and The Monster moderate the chat, and they have Troll Gun Trivia Contest running before the show, for those who get there early — and are registered!
