Larry Johnson on John Batchelor tonight! * Hope springs anew * Open Thread!

Do NOT miss Larry Johnson, a Sunday night regular on the great national AM radio show hosted by John Batchelor, one of the sharpest analysts out there. John hosts a provocative, fascinating show that also makes you think (a rare double offering on AM radio). Listen live here via Los Angeles AM station KFI 640, starting at 7:00 p.m. PT. (Drop by early if you haven’t listened before since you may need to download a small, easy-to-install piece of software to listen.) Larry joins the show at 7:30 p.m. every Sunday. ALSO: Uppity Woman has a great piece by Batchelor up at her blog, “RBO: Batchelor Coverage of Gaza.” [Susan's Note: This should be interesting since John and Larry will have different POVs, but they'll doubtless demonstrate how thoughtful people can disagree agreeably (a good lesson for many to learn)!,]

Ah, you cynics. You thought hopey-changey was all illusion, a game to win an election followed by [what in the hell do we do now].

But look now! Tim Kaine has just been named the new national chair of the Democratic party! Tim is known for his strong support for feminist causes, including abortion rights. (I wonder if Dr. Lynette Long will be discussing Gov. Kaine’s appointment tomorrow night on her radio show.)

And they are just lovin’ us around the world! Look at this happy group in Jakarta, Indonesia celebrating our new leader at an anti-Israel protest!

Indonesia Israel Protest

I found that image at Powerline, which reports:

So I confess to some satisfaction in seeing Obama’s likeness paraded at a hate rally in Jakarta, along with those of Maburak and Olmert. The protesters were blaming Obama for Israel’s attack on Hamas, when he hasn’t even been inaugurated yet!
