Reader Chris and Skippy tell us the Alterman-Hitchens debate will be re-broadcast Monday, June 9. Go here for details.

We didn't see the original as we've been out of town at a defense lawyers' retreat --no cable except CNN--No PBS--the ten of us here have dubbed it a federal prison camp---ok, maybe it's more like a halfway house-but no joke, it's a maze of concrete buildings, concrete rooms, color coded floors and ceilings(no town to go to, food is only available at certain hours in a cafeteria and it is not something you'd want to eat more than once in a month.) It does have high speed internet access and good water pressure in the showers, and we've had outside counsel come to visit and consult with us who didn't have to spend the night, but we can tell you we won't be doing this again any time soon. Anyway, we missed Eric sparring with Hitchens and hope to see the rerun after we return home--thankfully that's tomorrow. And on that note, we're going to click our heels three times now and hope we're back in Colorado when we wake up.
