Tonight's episode of The Independents (Fox Business Network, 9 p.m. ET, 6 p.m. PT, repeats three hours later), she is good. Here's some red meat for ya:

* Libertarian TV icon John Stossel talks Jonathan Gruber.

* Party Panelists John Tierney (beloved New York Times science writer) and Mike Baker (ex-CIA rager) react to President Barack Obama's announcement that he'll be unveiling some executive action on immigration tomorrow night. The two will also discuss Al Sharpton's unpaid taxes and San Diego's landmark sewage-treatment policies for combating the California drought.

* Rep. Jared Polis (D-Colo.), many libertarians' favorite Democrat in Congress, tries to defend the leadership re-election of Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), talks about the NSA-reform challenges post-USA Freedom Act, and uncorks an interesting answer about who he'd vote for in a Rand vs. Hillary election.

* Fox Human Resources scold Bernie Maxsmith is back with Two Minutes Hate, featuring some of the choicest insults from you, the beloved Hit & Run commenters.

Other topics being discussed include America's stubbornly persistent numerical decline, the sheer awfulness of new key GOP congressional leaders, lumbersexuals vs. metrosexuals, and more.
