That was meant to be,"Fear the Phramacology!!!" but my superior intellect wouldn't let me misspell it.

Cellulite ads, ugh. We need more stories about Russia!

Brandybuck, perhaps if we mention Russian brides, some good ads might appear. I wonder if Russian brides are scared of phramacology.

PS: Russian brides.

Did I mention my new Russian Bride is into Voodoo?

Hey reason.tv, you think next time you could choose an angle that would include the slides. Alternatively, edit in stills of the slides.

Also: shots of Russian brides.

Great lecture, but would've been better with the slides included.

I'm having trouble bending down far enough to do my thing because of all my stress eating from having to defend everything the president does and why can't they all just LEAVE HIM ALONE? I'M SERIOUS!!!!! LEAVE OBAMA ALONE!

Are you being self referential? Otherwise WTF are you posting about?

Excellent talk though!

Minor nitpick, but a filmed presentation that includes a slide show should actually *show* what the heck it is that the speaker is gesticulating towards off-screen.

Jacob Sullum is doing great work on the long-ignored (even among liberalization advocates) issue of how drug prohibition has twisted public perception and spread ignorance about the actual *effects* of these substances.
