Wed 1 Feb, 7 pm. After years of learning about an American decision-making system centered on exploitation and extraction, the host of MSNBC's The Dylan Ratigan Show lost his temper on-air. He received an outpouring of support from frustrated Americans who agreed that our country's principles are on sale to the highest bidder. Greedy Bastards: How We can Stop Corporate Communists, Banksters, and Other Vampires from Sucking America Dry aims to expose the alliance between government and private interests, and demands the restoration of visibility, integrity, choice, and aligned interests. Ratigan believes we must resolve to align shared goals that prize health over sickness treatment, learning over prestige-based education, investment over debt, efficiency over waste, and t. 600 I Street, N.W., Washington, 20001.

Thu 9 Feb, 7 pm. In her November 2011 Atlantic cover story “All the Single Ladies,” Kate Bolick asserts: “Recent years have seen an explosion of male joblessness and a steep decline in men’s life prospects that have disrupted the “romantic market” in ways that narrow a marriage-minded woman’s options: increasingly, her choice is between deadbeats (whose numbers are rising) and playboys (whose power is growing).
