So I was starting to write about a debate I heard last night on KQED on "California is the first failed state." It was on Intelligence Squared, so I went to their website to look something up and lo and behold, found this one lurking in their recent broadcasts:

THE US SHOULD STEP BACK FROM ITS SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP WITH ISRAEL

And here's the great news: Before the debate, the live NYC audience voted 33% for the motion, 42% against and 25% undecided. Following the debate, 49% voted for the motion, 47% against and 4% undecided. Roger Cohen & Rashid Khalidi carried the day.

So sounds like we all want to catch it! You can download the full or edited audio and watch the video by clicking here.
