Mississippi Meanderings: We spend a large portion of the podcast relating our weekend excusion to Oxford. Join us to learn our impressions of Joe Biden's appearance at Off the Square Books and his book, "Promises To Keep". We also describe our visit to Rowan Oak, William Faulkner's residence, 'Ole Miss, the University Museum and more. Perhaps most noteworthy- the 108 plus heat. Breathtaking, literally.
Politics: We cannot help ourselves. From the Iowa straw polls, Mitt Romney's pocketbook and Sam Brownback to Unity '08, we comment on what's going on with the current field of candidates and the future of the Democratic party as discussed by Harold Ford, Jr. and Daily Kos's Markos Zuniga.
Congress: With an approval rate of 14%, how low can they go? What can be done? Listen up as we explore N.Y. Times "No Light, Just Tunnel" and our re-visit of Chris Floyd's "Govern vs. Rule", along with laments of the continuing funding of the surge.
Harper's Magazine Interview: Scott Horton's interview with legal ethicist David Luban, Georgetown University Professor of Law and Philosophy published August 7 is interesting. Join us to hear Luban's opinion of whether Judge Fuller should have presided over former Alabama Governor Don Seigleman's trial.
Thanks for listening. Tell your friends. We'll return Thursday, August 16.
