A lot of heat coming out of Capitol Hill today between DeLay, Bolton, Frist,
"Justice Sunday" etc....We'll tackle them all tonight with Senator George Allen
(R-VA) and Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD)...Newsweek sleuth Mike Isikoff and
Briefing subscriber John Fund (who also works for the Wall Street Journal)
focus in on the Bolton & DeLay fights and zero in on the heat there..
And you thought the debate ended in 1925 over evolution vs. creationism? It's
alive in well folks in states like Kansas, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Florida and
Alabama...Should public schools acknowledge God in the creation of the earth
and mankind? We'll debate it with a couple of activists and let you decide.
We won't make that decision for you.
Finally we drop some heavy gravitas with The New York Times' Thomas
Friedman...You know his column well and now he's got a book saying "The World
is Flat"...Say what? We'll get into his thesis in the back half and try to
round things out a bit...
Please join us...Dominic Bellone wrote, compiled and edited The Hardball
