My Tivo can record two channels at a time, but not three. I chose 20/20 and the 2nd to last Battlestar Galactica, and will hope that the Illini win their first Big 10 tournament game so I can watch #2 on Saturday.

And just a couple months ago I was thinking of getting rid of my TV!

Reason TV put out another teaser for the special tonight.

This could be really effective... a lot of people watch 20/20. This is exactly what we need to be doing more of, getting real economics into mainstream media.

It was a good show, but I was a little disappointed with his take on "private" roads that were defeated in Texas.

Nobody objected to a private company buying land and building toll roads; that wasn't what was proposed at all. Instead, the state was going to use eminent domain to seize tens of thousands of acres or private land, use tax money to build the roads, and then turn it all over to a private company to make profit. Public risk for private gain: fascism in action.

I'm all for private roads, but what we shut down in Texas was not "private".
