Aimee Mann and Michael Penn -- I Just Wasn't Made For These Times

Based on the exceptionally rare booking of former C&L contributer Glenn Greenwald on two Sunday shows, I think it's a good guess that the surveillance state and privacy will be of discussion this morning. While I think that's an important and critical discussion that we have to have, based on the hysteria I've seen in my Twitter stream and in my inbox, I suspect we're not going to get much past the "ZOMG! Worse than Bush!!!1!!!1!one" stage. Which is sad, but hardly surprising given the state of journalism these days. In more positive news, Karen Finney debuts her new show on MSNBC this week, the provocatively-titled "Disrupt", which airs at 1:00 pm Pacific/4:00 pm Eastern. I'd like to wish Karen good luck with the show and invite C&Lers to start watching. If you're on Twitter, Karen tells me that the hashtag to use is #DisruptCrew.
