Let’s talk! aka “open thread”
This blog accepts comments. I thought it would be interesting to start what the political bloggers call an “open thread” and invite readers to say hello. If you’re so inclined, introduce yourself and let us know what’s on your mind. We could have some ongoing discussions in here if there is enough interest.

THE WAYBACKS, originally uploaded by Stuart SteinhardtThe Waybacks played live during my annual KPFA fund-raising marathon. Here’s a photo by Stuart Steinhardt, who took contributions in the phone room all day, taking a break to join the studio audience for the music – and snap a few pix, of course. Thanks, Stu!
