Blast Off! Radio PRIMETIME: Teabags and pirates and whiskers on puppies

NOTE SPECIAL TIME FOR TODAY'S SHOW: 7pm EASTERN

I knew the rightwing nutjobs were angry because Obama and the Democrats spanked them (electorally, of course -- even though some would have preferred literally) last November, but their behavior is landing them somewhere between "ridiculous" and "dangerous" on the scale of douchebaggery. I mean, laughing and pointing is great and all, but when Glenn Beck pours faux gasoline on an actor and pretends to be President Obama holding a lit match, well, a rather broad line has been crossed.

So on this Tax Week, we have a lot to discuss on Blast Off! Radio, which moves to a special evening time just for today (real life interferes sometimes with blogging -- yeah, I know it's hard to believe). Besides the Beck fiasco, we'll get ready for some teabagging ... wait, that came out wrong ... um, we'll look at the latest from the wingnut "Tea Parties" in Florida and around the country, we'll laugh at the Predictable Outrage from the Right over Obama's handling of the Somali pirate situation and the addition of a puppy to the First Family (preview: Fox News' Brit Hume thinks the puppy is "girly"), and we'll talk about the latest corporate slap in the face as Amazon.com summarily removes rankings from gay-related books. All this plus, as always, your calls, emails, and chatting.

Space and time do not permit me to share with you all the excitement, snark, and substance that will be part of tonight's special primetime show. So, I guess you'll just have to tune in and hear it for yourself:
