As always, you’re in the driver’s seat during the live chat, and your comments and questions will guide the conversation this afternoon, so we can talk about whatever’s on your mind, but something tells me we’re not going to be getting a lot of inquiries about our thoughts on the USA junior hockey team beating Canada on Tuesday night.

I’m guessing that we’ll be discussing the prospects for gun control in the coming months, the chaos in the capitol that is likely to continue for the next couple of weeks, the civil war within the GOP, and several other important issues during today’s chat, and I hope that you’ll be a part of the conversation.

Ed and I usually have a lot of fun with these live chats, but I’m not sure how many laughs we’ll have today. I do hope you’ll join us, however, for what promises to be an interesting and important discussion about where we go from here.
