FRIDAY: LSU Political Science Prof. Wayne Parent; Kinky Friedman; Comedian Tiffany Dickerson

LSU Political Science Professor Wayne Parent joins Jim in studio as the first guest of the day and they talk about Wayne's latest book The Louisiana Field Guide: Understanding Life in the Pelican State. They as well talk about Governor Bobby Jindal's recent letter to President Obama, the upcoming November elections, and much, much more.

Texas country singer, songwriter, novelist, humorist, politician, former columnist for Texas Monthly and a one-time candidate for Governor of Texas, Kinky Friedman is the day's second guest. What won't he and Jim talk about? He's playing tonight at the Red Dragon Listening Room at 8:00pm.

Comedian Tiffany Dickerson stops by the studio to close out the show with Jim, and she's in town tonight at the XO Comedy Club from 7:00pm-10:00pm with her show "Let Me Tell You Something Comedy Experience."
