Llewellyn hosts a weekly television show, Naming the Decade of Arbitrary Facts , that can be watched on your computer if it is not available on your television. Last week there was a particularly interesting edition of Chronicles that was devoted to political patronage and corruption. The point of view was that this is just the way politics is (an possibly must) be done.

Whether or not you agree with this point of view the discussion is an enlightening one about the nature of politics and well worth watching.
