Taking Back America

We’re at Take Back America, where earlier today I got a photo of the lovely Kagro X, and the equally lovely Christy Hardin Smith and Cliff Schecter. Beautiful people everywhere. (Facebook members can view more photos here).

Right now Marcy and I are listening to Naomi Klein talk about how the Left was ready for The Great Depression and responded with the New Deal, while we’re not prepared with a progressive response to the economic crisis that seems to be looming.

Meanwhile, Stirling Newberry has some thoughts on the Bear-Stearns bailout. Warning: remove sharp objects from the vicinity before reading.
