For Chicago readers only

The Chicago chapter of the Nathan Hale Foreign Policy Society -- devoted to discussing foreign policy topics in, "as bipartisan, idealistic, and nuanced fashion as possible," will be meeting a 7:00 PM Sunday evening at Cosi. The address is 116 S. Michigan Avenue. That's roughly across the street from the lovely Art Institute of Chicago. Make a day of it!!

This first meeting of the Chicago chapter will be led by Will Baude. The topic is Homeland Security:

1. What do we assess is knowable vis-a-vis the threat?
2. What does the homeland security community need to look like to 'deter, defend and defeat'?
3. Where do we go from here?

On the topic of a Chicago chapter to discuss "policy topics in, 'as bipartisan, idealistic, and nuanced fashion as possible,'" Chicago e-Democracy is in the process of starting a forum to discuss Chicago politics and policy. We hope to go live in February once we get about 100 people signed up. Drop me an e-mail for more info.

Sorry Dan, and everyone, for the infomercial, but the Nathan Hale announce seemed like a sign to spread the word for Chicago e-Democracy - Dan, I would love to see you sign up, of course; this goes for all Chicagoans saavy enough to frequent this blog.

On the NHFPS, I would love to come but have to write a paper for tomorrow and can't make the time on such short notice.

And, yes, that would be "savvy" - oops.

Dan,

Do you still support W? Because I don't. I'm interested in your take on W's turn from apparent Reaganite into Dick Nixon, The Sequel.

A concerned Reaganite Republican
