  Episode 54 – Afghanistan Explained
  Posted on October 7, 2009 by ggaudet | 5 comments
  In what might be the most substantive and engaging episode of PoliTalk, Lt. Col. Joseph Alessi Ph.D., chair and professor of Military Science at the University of Pittsburgh, walks us through what is really going on in Afghanistan. To understand the current political decisions, you have to understand the complex history of this country, and to do that, you need to listen to Joe. The McCain campaign had "Joe the Plumber." At PoliTalk, we have Joe the Scholar, who offers a fair, balanced view of the region and explains why if you don't learn from history, you're doomed to repeat it…and nowhere is that lesson more vital than Afghanistan. Always engaging and informative, it's PoliTalk — your weekly political podcast.

  David Letterman on John McCain – Day 2

  The night after John McCain canceled his David Letterman appearance, Letterman is still fuming. This is classic Letterman and great humor.
  Watching the McCain/Palin Campaign over the past few days is like watching a train wreck – you know it is gonna be ugly and a lot of people are gonna be hurt, but you can't keep you eyes off of it…
