I have to change the time of the show today because, well, I’m having lunch with Rep. Robert Wexler (D-Fla.).
Okay, so I’m not necessarily having lunch with him per sé, but I am attending a luncheon where he will be the keynote speaker; in fact, it’s the first stop on his book tour for Fire-Breathing Liberal: How I Learned to Survive (and Thrive) in the Contact Sport of Congress. If you have any good ideas for questions to ask him, put them in comments — I’ll check them before I go to lunch at noon. Then in the show at the special 4:00 pm time, I’ll share Rep. Wexler’s comments and any other interesting bits of tid that may arise …
Meanwhile, today’s show also will feature a discussion of Florida’s return to state-sanctioned killing, as the state’s first execution since 2006 is scheduled for this week. Capital punishment was the last issue on which I turned during my journey from conservatism as a mixed-up youth to my mature, reasoned liberalism of today, so it’s an issue about which I still have a lot of internal questions. I look forward to discussing them on the show and to hearing your thoughts as well.
You know the drill:
I hope you’ll join me at the special time of 4:00 pm for what promises to be an interesting and thought-provoking half hour.
