I hardly ever blog about politics qua politics, because…well, basically because it’s not clear to me that anyone cares what I have to say on the matter.
BUT. I’m going to make an exception and offer an actual, official HU Political endorsement (other HU bloggers, are, of course, in no way implicated.)
Thomas Geoghegan is running for Congress. He’s a labor lawyer and a writer — I reviewed one of his books here actually. He’s a smart guy and is vocally committed to democracy and equality in a way that I find pretty inspiring. I think it would be a great thing to have him in the House.
Anyway, his website is here. You can make donations here
And if you want to hear someone else make the case better than I can, Tom Frank has an op-ed about Geoghegan in the Wall Street Journal, of all places.
yep, geoghegan & his writings (particularly this one) are all the rage around my liberal bloggy sphere this week. i’m pretty sure i can get behind him, too.
my american liberal bloggy sphere, of course. cause i’m still in denial about living in canada.
