• Part 1 - We have a very specific delegate count question for a Senator Clinton supporter… Anyone…? Anyone…? Bueller…?. (21:02 33.7MB)
• Interview with Congressman Jim Cooper - There’s so much to talk about - Lawrence Lessig’s Change Congress initiative, earmarks, FISA, his Inspector General bill, election integrity - that we make the congressman late for class. Oops. Our bad. (12:19 19.8MB)
• Part 3 - Hundreds of thousands dead, maimed and psychologically scared, millions displaced from their homes, $700 billion dollars in the hole - and we’re right back where we started. (06:46 10.8MB)

• Media Matters for America Smackdown! - The North Carolina GOP gets tons of free airtime courtesy of cable news. Lucky ducks (that “ducks” with a “d”). (14:05 22.6MB)
• Part 5 - Did we mention that hundreds of thousands are dead, maimed and psychologically scared, millions are displaced from their homes, and we’re $700 billion dollars in the hole, yet we’re right back where we started?
