A TMM Halloween To Remember

It's Halloween, so I'll be dashing out of here as soon as possible. My daughter already informed me that she expects today to be "the BEST day of the YEAR!"

"Why?," I asked.

She looked at me as if I were insane or just severely limited.

"Because we get CANDY," she replied.

Well, we'll see about that.

In the meantime, here is a Halloween picture from frequent TMM guest Jolene Ivey:

On a more serious note, I can just imagine that many of you will be offended by our inetrview with high-profile white supremacist (and he doesn't like the term, as you will hear) David Duke.

We felt in the wake of the recent arrest of these two white supremacists in an alleged plot to kill Sen. Barack Obama and others, as well as all the racist chatter surrounding the Obama presidency, it fit the mandate of the program to talk to someone who holds those views, and not just talk about them. Duke, as you will hear, claims to eschew violence as a means to his ends and also claims to only advocate "white civil rights," and not "white supremacy."

Well, you be the judge. We asked him what it would mean to this country to have its first black President.

Have a good Halloween everyone.
