Tonight’s live episode of
The
Independents (9 p.m. ET, 6 p.m. PT, on Fox Business
Network, with repeats three hours later) is filled with semi-famous
ladies doing interesting things. For instance, Marianne Williamson
is, according to Wikipedia,
a
spiritual teacher, author and lecturer. She has published ten
books, including four New York Times #1
bestsellers. She is the founder of Project Angel Food, a
meals-on-wheels program that serves homebound people with AIDS in
the Los Angeles area, and the co-founder of The Peace Alliance, a
grass roots campaign supporting legislation to establish
a United States Department of Peace.
Williamson is also running for Congress as
an independent, and as such qualifies as the latest subject of our
“Meet the Independent” series.
Then there’s Judy Greer, literally “that girl
from that movie/tv show,” who will be talking about her new book
I
Don’t Know What You Know Me From: Confessions of a
Co-Star. Annabelle Gurwitch, the multi-talented
former host of the TBS show Dinner and a Movie,
will team up on the Party Panel with beloved Reason
Contributing Editor Michael C. Moynihan. The duo
is slated to talk about Hammerin’ Hank
Aaron’s comment about modern American racists (“The bigger
difference is that back then they had hoods. Now they have neckties
and starched shirts”); whether today’s horrific school knife attack
will or should lead to calls for “knife
control,” Brandeis University’s
cowardly withdrawal of an honorary degree for Islam critic
Ayaan Hirsi Ali, and the
controversy over the unemployed Phoenix mom who left her two
young kids in a hot car while she was interviewing for a job.
Gurwitch-Moynihan will also participate in a mid-show game
attempting to match sex scandals to politicians.
There’s more! Wall Street Journal
multimedia explainer Jason Bellini, proprietor of “The Short
Answer,” will present and talk about some of his latest work, such
as
this snappy vid about who gets audited by the Internal Revenue
Service. And punk-rock legend Walter
Schreifels of Gorilla
Biscuits fame may or may not assess the country-music stylings
of a man looking to free up the ownership of tigers.
Who knows which remnants from that all-star lineup will end up
