On Saturday, May 20 at 8:00 pm and Sunday, May 21 at 5:00 pm

Londonistan
Melanie Phillips

She suggests that immigrants be required to accept basic norms of British society before they are allowed to live there and explains why she thinks that the problem is not getting the attention that it deserves. The event was hosted by the Heritage Foundation in Washington, DC.

Michael Novak and Jana Novak

Matthew Spalding, director of the Heritage Foundation and an expert on American political history and religious liberty joins the panel to offer his opinion, as does Daniel Dreisbach, who is a professor in the School of Public Affairs at American University. Includes Q&A.

Michael Novak is the George Frederick Jewett Chair in Religion, Philosophy and Public Policy at the American Enterprise Institute. He is a former U.S. ambassador and the author of "The Universal Hunger for Liberty" and "The Spirit of Democratic Capitalism."

after looking up the website, I realize I can get CSPAN II online.

I knew it, but never bothered before, but I wanted to hear/see some of the stuff on this weekend, and my cable only carries CSPAN I.

just about ready to dump cable altogether now, as I can get this online, and CSPAN I on satellite radio

the discussion w/Andrew Sullivan, PaT Buchanan, Andrew sullivan, Frank Rich is very instructive, and such a refreshing break from the cable gasbag shoutathons. they're actually being polite/letting the others speak

Sullivan is revealed as the sadsack lying propagandist he's always been

Arianna is breathing FIRE about the tax cuts in time of war, as I type!d

thanks again

[Viva_La_Revolution]

29. you're welcome. Call-in sessions coming up with Sullivan and Rich

should be good. :)

[Gabi Hayes]

31. actually, they were disappointing

those CSPAN moderators are worthless interviewers, and the callers were lame, especially those to Sullivan

no challenges to his mendacious hypocrisy/delusional worldview

Rich was too even handed, in my hearing, with his blame of today's current state of affairs.

who the hell does he thinks is running things?

did he read his own book?
