If you have been following Lou all this week, you will know that he (along with 2/3 of Americans and the majority of New Yorkers) are simply furious that the Obama administration has chosen to try the self-professed 9/11 masterminds just a few blocks from Ground Zero. Debra Burlingame, whose brother was the pilot of the hijacked American Airlines 77 flight that crashed into the Pentagon, stops by to talk about this injustice.
Lou loves being a guest with Jon Stewart on The Daily Show, who he calls one of the "brightest, wittiest" people out there. Even if he is only there to be ridiculed.
It took significantly less time, but the Senate has come up with an equally absurd 2,074-page health care reform bill-- Harry Reid must be proud! But what does that mean for the average American, besides increased debt, higher taxes, and medical instability?
The White House continues to defend what Lou calls the "bizarre, infuriating" decision to bring 9/11 terror plotter Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to Lower Manhattan for his trial, putting all those most affected by the 9/11 attacks at greater risk until the trial is over.
The Obama administration is always accusing analysts on the Right of fearmongering when they point out the extreme policies that they are proposing. Lou suggests that maybe the fearmongers are the people suggesting the economy will spiral into an irreversible depression if we don't spend billions of dollars.

Debra Burlingame, co-founder of 9/11 Families for a Safe and Secure America, talks to Lou about the preposterous decision to try KSM in civilian court in NYC
In a previous blog, “A Runners Wife” I spoke about my husband training for the NYC marathon. All I have to say is that the months of training all came together of an amazing race. Race day is a grueling day for runners, and the family. But a miracle happened...
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder testified before the senate judiciary committee and basically shrugged when asked if any other enemy combatant captured overseas had ever been brought to civilian criminal court to face justice. Talk about an incompetent boob, not to mention a disgrace.
