I'm currently in Amherst (which I was told immediately when I landed that it's pronounced with no "h"), which along with Northampton is a great lefty town- campuses, excellent, highly interesting food, great progressive folks who are all very nice. And apparently it's only an hour and 15 or less from all the places up here where I have friends but don't get to as much- Brattleboro, VT, Albany, NY, Hartford, CT. Tonight I'll be hanging out at the local Drinking Liberally along with the great Bill Scher, who had me on LiberalOasis Radio a while back, and am looking forward to an excellent dinner at the place Hillary took Chelsea when they were looking at colleges, interestingly enough.

I want to let all the Boston-area folks know that tomorrow, Wednesday at 7 PM, Shai Sachs over at MyDD and Reading Liberally-Cambridge, along with ActBlue, will be hosting me for a discussion about my new book and opportunities for progressive change with the Obama Administration. It's at The Democracy Center at 45 Mt. Auburn Street near Harvard Square. Stop on by.

Cool. Guess this is a good reason to check out my hometown's Drinking Liberally for the first time ever.

Glad you're stopping by Northampton, Mike.

Check Out Downtown Holyoke On Your (0.00 / 0)

way to beantown.

It is outside the green wall that has surrounded the neighborhoods of families in the top 10 and 20% of income.

Happily, inside that green wall is a lot of the money that supports the Dem party. Inside that green wall, for the last 30 years, life has NOT gone down the tubes while it has outside the wall.

Unfortuneately, too few inside the green wall (newton, amherst, northampton, cambridge, lexington ...) REALLY know how shitty it truely is outside the wall, hence decades of wishie washies like DukakisMondaleGoreKerryMcAulliffe ... yuk.

rmm.

It is too full o' the milk of human kindness To catch the nearest way
