Book festival geeks can catch parts of the Los Angeles Times Book Festival on C-SPAN2 this weekend.

Assuming they get C-SPAN2, of course.

Tomorrow's programming features (at 1 P.M. Eastern) a panel on the War Against Iraq with Robert Scheer and Snitchley Hitchens. Apparently the Festival featured (and C-SPAN televised) an Iraq panel with the same panelists last year. If C-SPAN was smart, it would run last year's panel immediately before this year's. But it's not, so it's running a speech with Faux News know-nothing John Gibson.

Why doesn't anyone ever take my advice?
