Today on TEMS (3 pm ET), Matt Lewis joins us for a look at all of the political news of the day. Did the GOP dodge a bullet with the debt-ceiling deal? As we approach the Ames debate, Matt reminds us that the two candidates with the most to lose have a very long history of political antagonism. We’ll also dissect Barack Obama’s statement on the S&P downgrade and look at the Democratic campaign to discredit the ratings agency while arguing that their analysis applies directly to the Tea Party. We’ll also remind people to take a look at Matt’s book on Sarah Palin, The Quotable Rogue.
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!
We’ll also cover the the case of Marizela Perez, who has been missing in the Seattle area for more three months. Marizela’s case has a connection here at Hot Air, as she is the cousin of the Boss Emeritus, Michelle Malkin. Michelle is trying to spread the word through Facebook and Q13Fox/KCPQ in Seattle. We want to encourage prayers for Marizela’s family, and also try to reach anyone in the area who knows where Marizela might be and ask them to contact the police.
The search has its own website now, Find Marizela, for the latest in the efforts to bring Marizela home. There is also a fund for the family to keep the search efforts going. Be sure to check there and at Michelle’s site for further developments, and keep the family in your prayers.
America’s Most Wanted is now on the case, too.
Michelle offered an update this past weekend:
Five months ago today, my 18-year-old cousin Marizela Perez vanished from the University District in Seattle near the campus of the University of Washington, where she was a freshman.
The police have made no new progress in her missing persons case. Since I last updated you in July, we’ve had no new leads or breaks — and there still has been no sign or word from Marizela.
We thank everyone around the country who continues to keep their eyes and ears open — and everyone who continues to keep Marizela and her parents in their thoughts and prayers.
I want to call attention again to the NAMUS database as an invaluable yet underutilized tool for families of the missing and law enforcement agencies …
Be sure to read it all and to keep the family in your prayers.
