Regular hosts Richard Morrison and Cord Blomquist welcome special guest commenter and friend of LibertyWeek William Yeatman back to the program.

We start out by re-capping the weekend’s entertainments, including films presented at the American Film Renaissance annual film festival here in Washington, D.C., the victory of the New England Patriots over the San Francisco 49ers and the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History’s eye-opening special exhibit on the history and culture of the Rastafari.

Your hosts then proceed to tackle the big issues of the day, including the fallout from the Wall Street bailout bill, political interference with a proposed online advertising deal between Google and Yahoo, the just-announced recipients of the Nobel Prize for Medicine, the prospect of Sen. Ted Stevens spending “a little time in jail,” the $50 million embezzlement scandal in D.C. city government, parental controls for teen drivers, and, as always, the best in Olympic headlines.

This very special, jam-packed episode of LibertyWeek was made possible by the talents of our technical director, Ryan Young, and by the generous contributions of people like you. If you have general feedback for the program or for any of us in particular, please email your comments to pr@cei.org.
