Today is Constitution Day.  Calitics and the ACLU Southern California are partnering on a Campaign for Our Constitution.  Today we'll hear from Glenn Greenwald and Cenk Ugyur of the radio program "The Young Turks" talking about the need to restore our Constitutional freedoms in the age of Bush.  The details are here.  You need to sign up for the call at OurConstitution.net.

Thanks.

KQED, San Francisco's powerhouse public broadcaster, has a number of quality programs produced for the TV side and the Radio Side.  That being said, I think few can touch the greatness that is Forum.  It's a two-hour show every weekday, split into two single hour shows.  They're always one of the best resources for California and local Bay Area politics, news, and culture.  And they occasionally have some really interesting stories totally unrelated to anything local at all, like this 60th Anniversary Special for India or this program on Zimbabwe. 

But, more relevant to this website is their terrific, in-depth coverage of California politics.  They usually get good guests to discuss really interesting topics.  This week they've discussed the budget and today, the Dirty Tricks Initiative. You can subscribe as a podcast or listen to individual episodes at their archive.
