Today, on the Ed Morrissey Show (3 pm ET), Andrew Malcolm of the LA Times’ Top of the Ticket blog joins us to talk about media and politics. In the second half, Amanda Carpenter of the Washington Times joins us by webcam to talk about her Hot Button issues, including an important piece about price increases for vets at the VA — so don’t miss a minute!

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!
