Jane Hamsher, Adam Kokesh to be interviewed for YAL!

I am lucky to have two great guests lined up for a special doubleheader edition of the "The Matt Cockerill Show" on Saturday.

First, Jane Hamsher of FireDogLake. Hamsher is a prominent voice in the progressive blogosphere who, like the principled Glenn Greenwald, has not kowtowed before any of President Obama's Bush-lite policies. In fact, she has gone so far as to compare his war escalation in Afghanistan to the War in Vietnam.*  I'm hoping to get Hamsher, who has been very respectful to the Ron Paul movement (even attending the 2008 rally for the Republic), to try to help form a left-right coalition in opposition to the corporatism, aggressive war, and civil liberties incursions of the ruling Republicrat duopoly.

Second is Adam Kokesh, a well known activist in the peace and liberty movement. As most of you know, Adam is currently seeking the Republican nomination for US Congress in New Mexico's 3rd district and is an antiwar Marine Corps veteran of Iraq. YAL cannot endorse candidates for public office, so talk about the election will have to be dispassionate and informative. However, I plan on asking him some interesting personal questions.
