Errington starts the show by congratulating Aaron on his new full-time gig with Local Edge Radio, Monday through Friday 3 to 6 and then hits upon a few topical insights, starting with a private citizen’s billboard on Highway 1 in Wisconsin which suggests brazenly that we “impeach Obama.” The lawyer for this guy says it’s only an expression suggesting a change in Washington and a better focus on small business! We then go over a few other erstwhile concerns, like needing some definitive explanations about Afghanistan and how the 400 highest-earning American households grew by $345 ...
I thought I was current with my shows. I’m not sure why I thought that. I’m never current.
Hope for Haiti raises $57 million for Haiti. Military contractor DynaCorp has lost millions in Iraq. James O’Keefe was arrested for trying to wiretap Mary Landeau. This is really crazy. We have never gotten the real story on ACORN. These stories and more.
Now, this is progressive radio! Enjoy!

The Errington Thompson Show is officially off the air here in Asheville. I may still do podcasts on a regular basis depending upon how they’re received. I would like to thank all of my supporters. I truly appreciate your time and your support over the years.
I’m sorry, but I did not watch the Winter Olympics. I cannot get jazzed over a bunch of sports that I don’t usually watch. I can talk about football anytime, anyplace. Deion Sanders has a few words to say about Cowboys’ receiver Roy Williams.
Errington talks with two great guests on this show. The first is Linda Monk, constitutional scholar and author of The Words We Live By, who tries to make sense for us the very complicated Supreme Court decision regarding corporations. In what Ms Monk calls an “astounding example of judicial activism,” corporations have been deemed to have the same rights to free speech that individual Americans enjoy. Given that they retain limited liability, however, the rights of corporations become “Super Rights.” An individual’s liability would limit defamatory claims… not so for a corporation’s campaign ad! What to do? Monk supports a ...
This week’s show revisits two excellent interviews Errington had with Amy Goodman from Democracy Now, who is the author of Standing up to the Madness, and Media Matters’ Eric Bowling. The first interview with Ms Goodman reminds us of the ongoing fight for our civil liberties, even here in these United States. Goodman chronicles the story of a group of librarians who were served with so-called “National Security Letters” and, along with the help of the ACLU, stood up for their rights, for our rights, in a case against the United States Patriot Act. We hear, too, about some sneaky ...
Now, this is GREAT radio. My special guest is Lance Ulanoff, Editor and Chief of PC Magazine. He is here to help us with Christmas electronic purchases. We’ll chat about the do’s and don’ts. Then I talk with Igor Volsky of the Wonk Room at Think Progress. He has been following the ins and outs of the Healthcare legislation. Plus, I promise NO Tiger Woods jokes.
I gave away another copy of the GREAT book, Pops by Terry Teachout and another $100 gift certificate to Amazon.com. If you listen then you can win ...
I talk with Joan McCarter from the Daily Kos about what the heck is going on in the Senate. Joan has been following the ins and outs of the Healthcare legislation with posts 2 or 3 times per day.
This is clearly worth a listen.

Why can’t we start our own stimulus package? So, without further ado, here for the Christmas season, I’m starting the Errington Thompson show’s own stimulus package. I’m giving away a $100 gift certificate to Amazon.com and a copy of Terry Teachout’s new book Pops: A Life of Louis Armstrong. Listen and get stimulated!
My special guest, Bill Scher, from Campaign for America’s Future and Liberal Oasis.
