- Ed Driscoll interviews Jonah Goldberg, the editor at large of National Review Online, and the author of the best-selling (and prescient) Liberal Fascism, on his essay, “Big Bedfellows”-the deeply intertwined connections between big business and big government. (With cameo appearances from well-known General Electric employees Tom Brokaw and Bob Costas.)
- James Lileks on the controversy surrounding President Obama presenting Queen Elizabeth with an iPod.
- Pajamas Media CEO Roger L. Simon interviews Michael Patrick Leahy, the co-founder of Top Conservatives on Twitter, on the surprising popularity of Twitter.com, the wide-open social network and messaging service. (Video here.)
- Bill Whittle of PJTV and Pajamas Media Xpress interviews PJM Political host Steve Green, and Mark Hemingway of National Review Online on the “JournoList”-the closed network of 300 liberal inside-the-beltway journalists and opinion makers.
- In his weekly segment, Steve Green discusses the ouster of General Motors CEO Rick Wagoner.
- Andrew Klavan, novelist and author of Don’t Say A Word (adapted into a movie starring Michael Douglas) and True Crime (adapted into a movie directed and starring Clint Eastwood), and a PajamasXpress blogger on the state of the American culture wars. (Video here.)
- Produced by Ed Driscoll.

1. Themistocles:I recall the same wrong-headed statement being made repeatedly during the Kennedy administration:
“What’s good for GM is good for America.”
That’s wrong. The correct statement:
“What is good for America is good for G.M.”

Войска ПВО:In a hyper-tangential segue and, as long as we’re talking Presidential iPod Presentation, one should check out the speculation made by CJ over at his blog, The Illustrated Conservative, that the iBama affair may well have crossed over the boundaries of copyright laws.

We will be buying Ford next time we need a truck.
