Notes

Persuant to last week's Obama discussion, I found an especially eloquent summation of the Hillary camp:
"[Hillary supporters believe that] their highly substantive candidate was unfairly undone by a lightweight showboat who got a free ride from an often misogynist press and from naïve young people who lap up messianic language as if it were Jim Jones’s Kool-Aid."
I just thought that it was particularly expressive.

Also, there is a lot of good material on www.reason.tv . Some of my favorite videos are:

Living Large: The American Middle Class
http://www.reason.tv/video/show/61.html

Organ Transplants: Kidneys for Sale
http://www.reason.tv/video/show/333.html

Gridlock: Hell on Wheels
http://www.reason.tv/video/show/6.html

These are really great commentaries about different issues that don't often get debate, and might make for interesting discussions.
