I will be sitting in for Dan Yorke on WPRO-AM in Providence, RI today from 3-7 PM. Among the things I am considering for discussion:

Is the foster care system in Rhode Island broken? This article in the Providence Journal gives some of the details about a lawsuit that has been filed against the state by child advocates.

Did the President abuse his power by commuting "Scooter" Libby's sentence? Or did the prosecutor abuse his power by pursuing the case in the first place? Here is the front-page story in the New York Times with the details and reaction.

John McCain is doing poorly in the fund-raising battle, and is laying off staff from his campaign team, according to this Washington Post story. Should he pack it in? Can he really expect to win the GOP nomination with his positions on campaign finance reform and immigration, even if he is in tune with the base that wants to fight on to victory in Iraq? Here is one formula for recovery.

Speaking of Iraq, is the so-called "surge" working? Should we fight on to victory, or is that no longer possible?

On immigration reform, is some form of legalization (or amnesty) really a solution? Pat Buchanan believes the defeat of the immigration reform bill backed by the President gives him a unique opportunity to restore his political fortunes to a certain degree.

Also, there is certain to be some discussion of the latest concerning the bomb plot in the UK. Christopher Hitchens believes the plotters were deliberately aiming to kill women.

Richard Cohen believes the Democrats are failing to heed an important lesson about education. I agree with him on this one.
