Did you think last night's episode of The Independents was some pretty damn acceptable television? Then I reckon you'll like tonight's installment (Fox Business Network, 9 p.m. ET, 6 p.m. PT, with re-airs three hours later), which starts off with Party Panelists Andy Levy (co-host, Red Eye) and Mike Baker (ex-CIA dude) riffing on Dick Cheney's contention that Barack Obama is the "worst president" of his not-inconsiderable lifespan. The duo will also talk about the asinine contention by Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nevada) that "the border is secure," which ranks right there in stupidity with the notion that that border can be "secure"…plus the most idiotic Rolling Stone listicle in the magazine's history, and the almost-as-pointless Republican outrage over the White House bowling alley.

Fox News Senior Judicial Analyst and Reason.com columnist Andrew Napolitano will come on to square the circle in the complex immigration debate between natural rights, rule of law, and open borders. The co-hosts will have a spirited discussion about what should be done about mothers who test positive for meth, KABC radio host (and multiple-theater combat veteran) Bryan Suits will make the case for voucherizing the Veterans Administration's health care system, and then the show will close with some discussion about the presidential possibilities for Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.).
