I'm back today after taking yesterday off to indulge my inner musical needs. After interviewing Dave Mason last week, his people invited us to the show. So we made a nice day and night of it.  Today is Thursday, so Howie Klein is here with lots to discuss including Adam Schiff throwing his hat in the senate race ring to replace Dianne Feinstein, the implosion of the Blue Dog caucus, the least educated member of the House, McCarthy's dilemma and lots more... But first, some news and items of interest that we missed yesterday, and more from today. Sadly, there is never a dull moment...
