C. Doug,

BAI comes in clearer on the Internet in Seattle than it did over the air in Jersey City (it's funny, what seems excessive at home seems charming when one is far away). Tony Benn was interesting if a little foreshortened (modern technology - digits dog us all). I liked the CUNY piece very much as well. That nugget about workfare dragging kids out of college courses is pure gold. It encapsulates Clinton-era hypocrisy perfectly (education is one of his top priorities? -- Gimme a f**kin' break.). You must make as much of that as you possibly can. I'm sure it's the kind of item Tony Benn would appreciate as well.

My feeling is that Gore, Bush or Bradley (really, who the hell cares?), one of these monkeys is going to get skewered by all the barbs that should have pierced Clinton. A good comedian can tell a bad joke and get away with it. These idiots can expect rotten tomatoes.

peace
