Today, on the Ed Morrissey Show (3 pm ET), we again welcome Andrew Malcolm of the LA Times blog Top of the Ticket to the show! We’ll talk about why the GOP smells blood on ObamaCare, plus the latest from Obama on the bill. The time for talk is through, but perhaps Obama needs a little more talk. In the second half, Nick Gillespie of Reason.tv returns to show us his latest web video on “Buy American” efforts. Even if you don’t agree with his point, who can turn up their noses at bikini-clad women using sledgehammers to smash i-Pods? We’ll also touch base with Nick on other issues of the day.

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!
