If you don't know history, you are doomed to repeat it. 'Doomed' in this latest case is all in the eye of the beholder, as ultra-liberal progressives want to do things like federalize our banking system. As soon as some trouble hits, all of these dope politicians jump on the bandwagon--some because the believe in progressive ideals, some because they have no spine and just feel they should do something.

Gore on 60 mins
You just have to hand it to Leslie Stahl, boy, she really did a bang up job on her interview with Al Gore last night. She asked the tough questions (if tough=not tough) and followed up with no follow ups. Glenn tears apart the interview---and the only tough part was figuring out which ridiculous part to go through first. Read the transcript. (Insiders listen here).
Lord Monckton
Speaking of Al Gore, Glenn interviews Lord Christopher Monckton, because quite honestly it's just cool anytime you can talk to a Lord. Plus he is the guy that led the crusade to get Al Gore's movie out of schools in the UK. Read the transcript. (Insiders listen here).
Youth and morals
A new study out shows that our youth actually aren't completely devoid of the 'right and wrong' sense. A shocking study shows that 94% respect monogamy and parenthood; 84% revere marriage; 88% respect the U.S. Constitution; 84% respect our military and more than 3 out of 4 believe in the 'American Dream'. Ironically, fewer than 1 in 4 say they have any admiration for Hollywood.

Has the prospect of an Obama or Hillary presidency started to outweigh your frustration at who the GOP nominee is? Glenn would like to find out in this 'if you had to vote today' poll. Take the Poll.
