Anyone else listen to "This American Life"?: BBV and Repuke politics

[Pale Blue Dot]

http://www.thislife.org/

Go to the link that says "Episodes/RealAudio,
by year produced: 03" then look for the show "The Annoying Gap Between Theory ... and Practice ". All segments of this show are guaranteed to outrage, especially the first two. I don't think anyone could listen to the first segment and still think BBV is a good idea. And the 2nd story is a heartbreaking story about politics in the Michigan legislature.

This is always a great show, but this episode really hits home.

2. I heard that episode

Yeah, good stuff. BTW, Steve Tobocman won his seat by literally going to virtually every household in the district; not an easy task. He unseated an endorsed, multi-term Latina incumbent in a predominately Latino district (he is an Anglo). I can't remember if the story went into that info. I don't live in that district but have many friends who do.
