Who doesn't love Reason Writer/Producer extraordinaire Anthony L. Fisher? We don't, that's who, which is why the baseball-loving semi-ginger will be one-half of a Red Meat Wednesday of a Party Panel (along with TV's Andy Levy), on tonight's swell episode of The Independents (Fox Business Network, 9 p.m. ET, 6 p.m. PT, with re-airs three hours later). Andy & Anthony will opine on Jimmy Carter's diss of President Barack Obama's ISIS strategy, on former Obama advisor Bill Burton's diss on the smack-talking Leon Panetta, on the phantasmagorical claim by Rep. Duncan Hunter, Jr., (R-San Diego) that "at least" 10 ISIS baddies have crossed north through the U.S.-Mexico border, and also that horrendously violent seatbelt-stop in Indiana blogged here yesterday.  

The great Yahoo! News political reporter Chris Moody will discuss the surprisingly prominent position that drug-reform policy will play in the 2016 GOP presidential race, subject of his latest piece. Former Secret Service official Jeff Stover will detail the governmental breakdowns that led to his former agency screwing up so many damn times. Conservative enfant horrible Jason Mattera will talk about his new book Crapitalism: Liberals Who Make Millions Swiping Your Tax Dollars, and also his stalking of Lois Lerner. And the show is now making "Enemies of Freedom" a weekly affair, with our first Wednesday nominee.
