Clarification: This show does not air until Monday. I was getting reader suggestions for interview questions. We pre-record the show, usually the week before it airs. Stand by for the link…<\/strong><\/p>

In about three and a half hours, I interview David Frum<\/a> of FrumForum.com<\/a> and Kenneth Silber<\/a>, a frequent contributor on science over there. The topic of the show is conservatism, science, and reality–and I’ve gotten two conservatives, albeit pretty much the opposite of Tea Partiers, to talk about it.<\/p>

It is my perception that across a wide array of issues–from health care to, uh, light bulb policy–the U.S. political right today just views the world differently, and has a different set of facts (which, I’m afraid, tend to be wrong). I want Frum, and Silber, to tell me to what extent I’m right, and to what extent I’m<\/em> wrong–and also to show me where the liberal blind spots are.<\/p>

But of course, you may also have questions for them–so suggest away. They’ll be considered if posted in the next three hours or so….<\/p>

By the way, here<\/a> is a piece by Silber, entitled “How I Joined the Vast RINO Conspiracy.” And here is Frum’s classic article<\/a> taking on Rush Limbaugh.<\/p>
