There's been a lot of talk about the DLC's increasing marginalization lately. From Digby's terrific post on what drove him from their side to Kenneth Baer's article on how they can revive themselves (become reformers and modernizers), the 20th anniversary of From's organization is garnering the same sort of props that the founders of New Coke must enjoy yearly. But while the DLC's brand of split-the-difference, find-the-middle politics might be archaic in the era of DeLay and Rove, we still need them there trying.

As I mentioned a few days ago, I spent Saturday night watching Malcolm Gladwell read from his new book Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking. The reading was at The Hammer, a terrific museum just blocks from my house. He packed it. Their 250 person auditorium became standing room only and, when that ran out, overflow seating was set up near speakers outside.

I don't know if this merits a blog post, but Rich Lowry is either a liar or a simpleton. Regarding a segment on yesterday's Meet the Press, he says:

Well, Kleiniacs, it's been fun.  Thanks for listening to our ramblings. 

If you feel like seeing what we say during the week, feel free to drop by.  You can read more about the continuing saga of Powerline, Ann Coulter, and other assorted right-wing liars.  Always a barrel of laughs.
