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.

Stephen Colbert Goes to Washington (For an FEC Hearing)

This clip is from a real life Federal Elections Commission hearing on whether or not promoting Colbert's Super Pac would constitute an in kind political donation from Viacom, thus forcing Viacom to disclose some financial information.

While it was not a hearing on Rule-Making, it is probably the most exciting any Commission hearing can get.
