Connecting Dem Offices and Outside Progressives from the Get-Go (Dec 22 2006 21:55 GMT) - Color me still a bit amazed that in thirteen days we're really going to seat a Democratic majority in both houses of Congress. Going on the hope that this really isn't just a dream we're all going to wake up from on Jan. 5, this new congress presents us with both challenge and a ripe opportunity. Here's what I mean by that. One thing very wrong with the Democratic side of Washington DC today is a one of architecture -- Dem office holders and their staff exist in a silo, outside of which exists the network of progressive think tanks, writers, advocacy groups, and the like. |

Donald Rumsfeld, a visionary and voice which we shall surely miss in the difficult years ahead.

Time's Person of the Year: YOU!

Perhaps if they put my photo on the cover I'd buy a few copies. But what's the point of sending this around when most people you send it to would also qualify? I suppose we |
