| Netroots Nation thoughts | | Arriving at the David Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh, I was on the escalator behind Duncan Black. David Neiwert introduced us in the registration line.
Nate Silver of fivethirtyeight.com is explaining polling to us now, as Charlie Cook (dean of the polling community), Pollster.com authors Max Blumenthal and Charles Franklin, and Greg Dworkin (DemFromCT) nod in agreement.

| Big Dog at Netroots Nation |  Bill Clinton spoke to the Netroots Nation conference last night. It's an inspired speech, done without notes and with extemporaneous digressions based on a heckler's call.

| Netroots Nation recap | | I know it's been a week since I got back from Netroots Nation, so this is a rather belated report, but I have a good excuse. I was on the road for 4 weeks before NrN, and it's taken me a little while to get caught up again.
Netroots Nation was awesome. It'll be in Las Vegas next year, and should be even better. It'll be the 5th year, returning to the scene of the first convention, ba [..] Read complete article | | Published 24-Aug-2009 by Thoughts in Policy and Politics

| Gearing up for my Netroots Nation Panel | | Netroots Nation is rolling out their panels for the next meeting (August 13-16, Pittsburgh, PA). It's an interesting mix, with more than any one person can handle. If my experience last year is any guide, it'll be a struggle just to keep up, and there will be lots of times when I'll have two or more simultaneous panels I want to attend. I just hope my panel isn't scheduled opposite anything r [..] Read complete article | | Published 18-Jun-2009 by Thoughts in Policy and Politics

| Random moment in Netroots Nation | | Governor Mayor Gavin Newsom (I slipped up and made that verbal premonition yesterday) is sitting here in the airport with me. I may chat with him in a moment.
This morning, he introduced the capstone speech by Van Jones. Let it be said that Van Jones Rocks, and his Ella Baker Center is just down the street from NCSE's offices, and I c [..] Read complete article | | Published 21-Jul-2008 by Thoughts in Policy and Politics

Obviously, there's the significance of MLK Day being followed by President Obama's inauguration. That's a connection so obvious that it needs to commentary. King had a dream, and while little white boys and little [..] Read complete article | | Published 18-Jan-2009 by Thoughts in Policy and Politics

| TAM Thoughts | | From last Thursday through Sunday, I was in Las Vegas at The Amazing Meeting!, a gathering of skeptics hosted by James "The Amazing" Randi. Randi, for those of you unschooled in these matters, was a stage magician who got involved in debunking the claims of psychics and other flimflam artists. He orchestrated a rather famous debunking of psychic Uri Geller on the Carson show (you can find it [..] Read complete article | | Published 19-Jul-2011 by Thoughts in Culture Wars

| Thoughts on Texas |  Berlanga and Nuñez voted against the final TEKS, the other 13 voted to approve them. Texas has new science standards. Those standards are better than the old ones, but those old standards really did suck. As the Fordham Institute put it, giving the standards an F in 2005, "Thematic unities, so persuasively urged in the national guides, have an effect here opposite to that advertised.
