Hello and welcome to the Slate Political Gab Fest for Friday, October the 14th, 2011.

I'm David Plotz, the editor of Slate here.

As always, with John Dickerson, Slate's chief political correspondent.

On my right and joining us delightfully in from where do you I can't remember

where you live where does she live the wilds of New Haven where she's from we never talk

about it they slay their own New Haven that's it yeah where is that in Yale is there is Emily

Bazelon, Emily?

It's so nice to have you here.

Here to be mocked in person.

What could be better?

No, you're not being mocked. You mock as much as you get mocked.

I agree.

Do you think?

I feel like I've actually in the last few weeks maybe gone to mock a little more at your expense.

I look forward to more opportunities today.

I'm glad that at the time of the Jewish New Year, when you're atoning for all the things

you've done wrong and trying to get a fresh start, that you chose that. He's playing a religion card.

In the register, in the register of life to mock away. It's my New Year's resolution. Make fun of David as much as possible.

John, close runner up.

Is the register of life online now, by the way?

You are always like, that's the kind of thing that you find.

What's the register of life?
