Dec 072010

12.7.10 Best-selling author and Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Chris Hedges joins Coy to discuss his new book Death of the Liberal Class. Movements expressing rage, anger, and discontent towards established power have taken center stage, argues Hedges, because today’s government is no longer looking out for the working class. From the creation of the middle class out of the labor movement, to the financial ramifications of World War I and the Espionage Act of 1917, one of the most intelligent, informed guests in the history of the program explains exactly to where and under what circumstances this “liberal class” has dissappeared.

12.7.10 Historian and author Rick Britton joins Coy to wrap up their discussion of the 25 most important Civil War battles. The final engagement between the Confederate and Union Armies took place at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865, and in today’s recreation of the events, General Robert E. Lee finds himself totally outnumbered and surrounded on three sides by General Sheridan’s cavalry. Lee is willing to scrape together one final stand, but after hearing a message that his men cannot break through the Union lines, the Confederate General realizes his pool of options has run dry. The conversation also teases Britton’s new speaker series on early Virginia history at the Charlottesville Senior Center.

12.6.10 Founder and President of Virginia Tomorrow Bob Holsworth joins Coy to continue their weekly discussion of Virginia Politics. Former Democratic State Senator Criegh Deeds announced today that he will run for re-election despite his defeat in the gubernatorial race last November to Bob McDonnell, and Holsworth isn’t quite sure it’s the right move. Also, Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli had kind words for a recent EPA decision, but will the romance last? President Obama issued a 7 year halt on east-coast off-shore drilling last week, but will complaints from Democratic Senators Webb and Warner have any effect? One of the foremost experts in Virginia politics tackles all of that and much more.
