* On Sunday, June 8, at 5:00 p.m., I'll be at the 2008 ACLU Membership Conference, held at the Washington, DC Convention Center. I'll be participating in a panel discussion with Arianna Huffington, Rachel Maddow and ABC News' Jan Crawford Greenberg -- moderated by Adaora Udoji -- entitled: "Looking Ahead: Political Realities of a Post-Bush America."
