Today on The Ed Morrissey Show (3 pm ET), Kerry Picket of the Washington Times joins me to discuss the hot topics on Capitol Hill, including the talk of a government shutdown and Chris Christie’s visit to Washington DC.  In the second half, Kevin Binversie brings us up to the moment on the situation in Wisconsin, where Democrats in the state legislature have disappeared to avoid taking a tough vote on restrictions for public-sector unions.

The Ed Morrissey Show and its dynamic chatroom can be seen on the permanent TEMS page — be sure to join us, and don’t forget to keep up with the debate on my Facebook page, too!
