Outstanding on the radio, Outstanding on TV and now Outstanding on RT! Thom Hartmann, you're outstanding! I'm not religious, but I will pray everyday that RT knocks Faux News off the air once and for all. And with people like you on the air, taking names and kicking ass I see that happening sooner then later. (when do you sleep?) P.S. I send my best to you and Louise.
