Below are the topics and guests announced for these programs, along with my take on the "memes" that the shows are trying to push. With each guest's name are a series of links that I found in a web search that helped me get a handle on who they are and what their likely positions will be when they are interviewed.

Here's a sample of my usually witty commentary...
... On tap this week, Iraq, Iran, Sudan, Burma (or is it Myanmar?), cradle to grave government control of the most intimate areas of our lives, those who wish to rule us tell us what they'll do for us and, if you listen carefully, to us, and Bill Clinton and a few (hundred) close friends decide the fate of the world (at $15,000 per participant). Orwell would recognize the way things are going, and would only have to adjust his thinking slightly to make over his "Ministry of Truth" into todays Main Stream Media.
The narrative this week seems complex, but it boils down once again to the old media trying to dictate what issues we are supposed to be thinking about and what we should think about it. ...
Three leftists types who hate Bush and one fascist who hate him more. Now that's fair and balanced
Just one of your sentences of wisdom and there are so many more.
You are the king of analysis,no doubt.
