Well, the original idea for the show is below, but the conversation went like this…

Part 1: Samantha monologuing (is that a word?)

• On the S&P downgrade
• On the Fox News portrayal of Obama’s birthday party

Part 2: Guest Brian Henchey

• Reaction to Chris Christie’s response to “…fearmongering over Sharia law” in response to nominating a Muslim judge to the state Superior Court
• Discussion of building mosques and Muslims in America
