For me, reason.tv is the new Penn & Teller: Bullshit!. I love it. Last week, its showcase - The Drew Carey Project - produced the 7+ minute video: Mexicans and Machines: Why it’s time to lay off NAFTA.
For those with less than 7 minutes to spare, Carey pushes the protectionist credo (against NAFTA, “cheap labor” [...]

Really, I have a faint memory of Newt and, like most people, associate the Contract with America with him but that’s about it. It’s a memory with positive undertones though. Like the Ali G video articulated, there was welfare [...]
