Fox News talk show host ALAN COLMES will join National Review contributor JOHN DERBYSHIRE to talk about Derbyshire's new book, We Are Doomed: Reclaiming Conservative Pessimism.

In his hilarious and blunt new book, Derbyshire reveals how the GOP has been led astray in recent years?and shows that had conservatives held on to their fittingly pessimistic outlook, America?s future would be far brighter. Think rescuing the economy by condemning our descendents to lives of spirit-crushing debt. Think nation-building abroad while we slowly disintegrate at home. Think education and No Child Left Behind. . . . But don?t think about it too much, because if you do, you?ll quickly come to the logical conclusion: We are doomed.

John Derbyshire is a contributing editor for National Review, where he writes a regular column. He also contributes regularly to National Review Online and writes frequently for a number of other publications, including the Wall Street Journal, the American Conservative, the Washington Examiner, and the New Criterion.

Alan Colmes has gained a reputation as a hard-hitting liberal known for his electric commentary on the American agenda. He joined FOX News Channel in 1996, and co-hosted Hannity & Colmes for over twelve years. Today his radio show is syndicated by FOX News and heard on terrestrial radio stations across America, XM and Sirius Satellite Radio, and the American Forces Radio Network.
