Monday, 10/22 - A month after the uprising in Burma, what's the status of the global call for democracy? How are China and India responding?

Tuesday, 10/23 - A conversation with Robert Jensen, associate professor in the School of Journalism at the University of Texas at Austin, and author of "Getting Off: Pornography and the End of Masculinity"

Book description: Pornography is big business, a thriving multi-billion dollar industry so powerful it drives the direction of much media technology. It also makes for complicated politics. Anti-pornography arguments are frequently dismissed as patently “anti-sex”—and ultimately "anti-feminist"—silencing at the gate a critical discussion of pornography's relationship to violence against women and even what it means to be a "real man."
In his most personal and difficult book to date, Robert Jensen launches a powerful critique of mainstream pornography that promises to reignite one of the fiercest debates in contemporary feminism. At once alarming and thought-provoking, Getting Off asks tough but crucial questions about pornography, manhood, and paths toward genuine social justice.

Wednesday, 10/24 - On the Record: What is Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee's voting record? What did he do as governor of Arkansas? And where is he getting his money?

"And where is he getting his money?"

Hmmm....you don't think he's getting it from that Norman Hsu character, do you?
