Brian Ward and I convened on the first real Spring day here in Minnesota. Congressman Tom Cotton was our guest; you shouldn’t miss this episode of the Hinderaker-Ward Experience, as we talked with Tom about the Boston Marathon massacre, immigration and gun control.

Last night, Brian Ward and I recorded Episode 43 of the Hinderaker-Ward Experience. We were guest-free, so it was just Brian and I riffing on the news of the day, along with other topics–high school dance, the weather and meteors, with more than a dash of horse meat. Serious topics included the State of the Union, the ongoing mystery of Barack Obama, and the Pope’s resignation. We wrapped up with

In Episode 38, Brian Ward and I talk about cliffs, fiscal and real–Brian likened us to Thelma and Louise–and awarded our This Week In Gatekeeping prize. But most of the show was devoted to an interview with Jake Tapper, ABC News White House Correspondent and the author of The Outpost: An Untold Story of American Valor. I wrote about The Outpost here, when I was only half-way through it. Having

On the eve of the election, Brian Ward and I, joined by Paul Mirengoff, recorded our opinions and predictions for the presidential race. We talked about the polls, we ridiculed Nate Silver and Paul Krugman, we disagreed a little but not much. In the end, we tried to put the polls aside–collectively, they show that the presidential election will be reasonably close, and that’s about it–and rely on our observations
