While I’m gone, though, let me recommend some reading material that I just got in the mail: The Best American Political Writing 2006, edited by Royce Flippin. It’s got a great selection of liberal political writing from the past year, including a couple of pieces from the Monthly. Some I’ve read but many I haven’t, and I’ll be taking this with me to while away the downtime during the conference.
I’ll be back on Thursday. Don’t start any new wars until I get back.
