Liberal Talk Radio

I just got one of these as a gift and they’re pretty sweet (and non-partisan!):

Gotta love Mitch Albom.  His folksy, leftist populism has always been a big hit with sports fans in Detroit.  Mitch is crafty enough to be overtly non-partisan, but if you read his columns long enough, you get the impression that he’s a closet D.
Reading Mitch’s piece yesterday on the firing of Matt Millen, I’m buoyed [...]

Palin got a crash course in diplomacy today.
