About the Blog

I shall post videos, graphs, news stories, and other material. We shall use some of this material in class, and you may review the rest at your convenience. I encourage you to use the blog in these ways:

--To post questions or comments about the readings before we discuss them in class;
--To follow up on class discussions with additional comments or questions.
--To post relevant news items or videos.

There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges. This blog is on the open Internet, so post nothing that you would not want a potential employer to see.

Colbert creates a 501C(4) to receive unlimited, undisclosed campaign donations. Stephen's personal lawyer creates an anonymous shell corporation that does not have to disclose any financial information until 2013. Even then, no one will ever know who his donors are. On top of that, he can receive unlimited donations to his 501C(4)and donate to Colbert Super PAC.
