Crashing the Gate: Netroots, Grassroots, and the Rise of People-Powered Politics, by Jerome Armstrong and Markos Moulitsas Zuniga, is "a shot across the bow at the political establishment in Washington, DC and a call to re-democratize politics in America. Written by two of the most popular political bloggers in America, the book hails the new movement that is changing the way political campaigns are waged." Visit http://www.crashingthegate.com/ or http://www.dailykos.com/ to learn more about the book, the blogs, and the online progressive movement. Moulitsas will be in Boulder tomorrow and Denver on Wednesday, for a book signing at 5pm (and then "Drinking Liberally Denver," a progressive meet-up at Double Daughters, 7:30 - 9:30).
[In addition to having great insights on today's political scene, Markos is married to a friend of mine from high school, so I met him at our 10th class reunion last fall!]
Ending Hunger Now: A Challenge to Persons of Faith, by George McGovern, Bob Dole and Donald Messer. Dr. Don Messer, a professor at Iliff School of Theology, and former U.S. Senator George McGovern will discuss and sign their book at Tattered Cover (LoDo), beginning at 7:30.
...and in the usual Murphaic way of things (that would be due to Murphy's Law), Anne Lamott, author of the wonderful Traveling Mercies and Plan B: Further Thoughts on Faith, will be at Tattered Cover's Cherry Creek location, also beginning at 7:30 p.m.
And I have choir rehearsal that evening, which means I need to learn to be in three places at once!
