TODAY'S SHOW: FRIDAY AUGUST 31ST 2007

By Vanessa Silverton-Peel
Irwini
 

This is an Elseya Irwini turtle, named after the late Steve Irwin who discovered it.  It is in danger of becoming extinct, which is sad.  It also breathes out of its butt, which is funny.

Moving on.

Rachel will be joined by Salon.com writer Glenn Greenwald who will be talking about how "unforgivable" the GOP finds Larry Craig's malfeasance, but how totally forgivable all the other hooker scandals have been.  "Cost-free moralism," it's a great political investment!

And then the band Ozomatli joins Rachel in studio to talk about their new album and what it's like to form a band at a union rally.

MENTIONED ON TODAY'S SHOW

Vatican Air has its own special set of security problems

Scientists at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California are suing the Bush Administration due to an invasive new questionnaire on loyalty

Solomon Island man who saved John F. Kenney's life during World War II is finally honored by the US Navy.  Bonus: They fixed his roof

The Justice Department is having a tough time convincing its own attorneys to prosecute GITMO detainees

Millions of White House emails were mysteriously lost.  Weirder?  That a private company was in charge of them.  Weirder still?  The White House will not release the name of that company.

Maybe you could get an extra day's grace, chemgirl...

...if you told your students "a butt-breathing turtle inhaled my syllabus, etc."
