Tonight, on the anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., Ed will speak with Rev. Jesse Jackson, one of the 3 who stood with MLK Jr. on this famed balcony.

King and his group were there to help people like Baxter Leach and Elmore Nickleberry, AFSCME union workers of the Memphis Sanitation Department.  These 2 men invited MLK  Jr. to the city 43 years ago today, to take a stand for workers' rights, and they'll share their story on the show tonight, too.

Ed, you always sink to new lows. Blaming Bush for 911 is bottom of the barrel, even for you. No wonder you are an embarassment, even to your fellow socialist commentaters.
