Progressive Alaska Does Firedoglake

At 5:30 p.m. today, the very progressive blog, firedoglake, will have me joining regular host Ian Welsh, for the first evening of an event that will take place over the next few days -- TedFest!

Celtic Diva will be joining in to help with my end, because I teach a class this evening during most of that 90-minute time slot.

firedoglake has commented about Progressive Alaska in the past, and the Saturday before last, the Pacific Northwest's pre-eminent expert on hate groups, militias and their mentalities, did a post there about Ted Stevens' recommendation of Mark Steyn's book, America Alone, which was also covered here, at Celtic Diva's Blue Oasis, and - very reluctantly and weirdly - by the Anchorage Daily News.
