Welcome to the working week...

Today, I start another week as guest host of Air America Live, from noon-3(ET).  I hope you'll listen in at www.airamerica.com/listen.

Talk about timing... as in Hour 2 today, I'll be speaking with Frank Schaeffer, who was instrumental in the birth of the religious right movement and has since come to his senses.  He wrote about his father, Francis Schaeffer, who was the equivalent of the Protestant Pope, in his book, "Crazy for God: How I Grew Up as One of the Elect, Helped Found the Religious Right, and Lived to Take All (or Almost All) of it Back."  

We'll also look into the origins of the swine flu which, believe it or not, differs from the origins of the religious right.

And there's lots more to talk about today as well... I hope you'll call in too... the number is 866-303-2270!
