so everyone is munching on quesadillas and guacamole (mmm). Here's a wrapup of closing remarks, along with some hilarious quotes from the day.

Adonal Foyle- the nightmare of an NBA based on money not talent ("who knew ross perot has such a great right hook shot?). But it is politics that is controlled by money, and it affects everything in every policy and marginalizes young people.

Jon Lewis- We don't know anything about raising chickens, and its going to cost us. wait, no. actually, he painted a very affecting picture of encounters with discrimination from childhood to getting arrested when he tried to register to vote to marching in Selma. We young people, according to Lewis, must find ways to get in trouble and get in the way of the forces of hatred and division. All followed by a teary standing ovation.

Highlight reel:


I think of Paris Hilton sitting on her bony slutty ass- why should she inherit 25 million dollars tax free and the waitress who brings her a double frappuchino pays tax on every nickel she earns. (Paul Begala)

Most of the time what they (politicans) want is money- and you don’t have any! Adonal Foyle

Did you hear that (reverb) effect in the mike? That’s really cool! Thomas Frank

Mckinley and his supporters though Bryant was this prairie Robespierre who would set up a guillotine in Washington DC. Thomas Frank

You should really check out “advise and consent” (a 1940's political film). It just came out on VCR. William Jefferson Clinton.
