Today on The Ed Morrissey Show (3 pm ET), we’ll try to avoid the Comcast failure that ended up crashing last Friday’s show.  Kevin McCullough is on the road today, so instead we’ll talk with Susan Vigilante, author of Breakfast with the Pope, a chronicle of her meeting with Pope John Paul II and her life journey as a Catholic, a writer, and as a woman.

In the second half, we’ll take questions in a Face the Chat roundtable on today’s hot topics.  Joining me — and most likely disagreeing with me occasionally — will be our Green Room stalwart and guest blogger today, Jazz Shaw.  I’ll also talk a little bit about how not to drive on snowy streets, from unfortunate personal experience.
