OK, how about recent news? That may not appeal to everyone, but it's more interesting than bran flakes and will often appeal to intelligent folks. Start with something small and/or local, don't go mentioning big things (like "President Bush X") until they give some indication of wanting to talk about that kind of stuff in-depth.
