Should anyone speak up for the Muslim-American doctor, Esam Omeish, who resigned from the Virginia commission on immigration this week?  And were the Republican leading candidates for the presidential nomination right to skip a PBS Tavis Smiley-moderated debate at Morgan State?  We've got lots to discuss today, and we'll start at 2pm.  Join us!

Chris Plante is off today, and so, to have some fun, I've invited one of 630 WMAL's most fervent fans and callers, Silvie from Waldorf (whose name is really Silvie Acevedo) into the studio for the 2pm hour with me.  It ought to be fun.  We're going to be talking about whether or not Mahmoud Ahmedinejad should be allowed to speak at Columbia University . . . and much more.  And I've got a challenge for my conservative friends (that's you) in the 3pm hour.  Join us!

There are only a few issues in front of us today -- one day before the Petraeus report, two days before the 6th anniversary of 9/11:  Are we as safe today as we should be?  Why haven't we gotten bin Laden yet?  And is the war in Iraq worth continuing to lose American lives?

Amazingly, as I listen to you talk with Chris Plante this Sunday afternoon, not too many of you want to talk about Idaho Sen. Larry Craig's resignation yesterday.  Why is that?  Uncomfortable talking about the issues on your side of the fence?  Well . . . not so fast, buster!
