I'm going to try to remember to tivo this. I have to assume that it's 7pm eastern.
You mean CSPAN2 (the duece!)
Nick: Where's your leather jacket?
Chris: Where's your neck?
Sally: She's very cute
Ron: Heh. He reads Playboy for the articles.
Looks like C-SPAN2 didn't cut away when you thought it did, Nick. Woo hoo!
Anyone got a link to a streaming video?
I believe it'll be up here eventually.
How did it go?
I was in the audience, and it went quite well. Bailey and Mooney got in an interesting discussion on climate change. Patel was very good on psychiatry. Bailey laid waste to Genetically Modified Food scare tactics. I had a lot of fun.
My husband and I really enjoyed everyone on the panel-they wera all on target in their specialty. I had just finished reading State of Fear, so I especially was interested in Ron Bailey and plan to order his book. Hope to see all of them on again.
