About Me
- janinsanfran
- I'm a progressive political activist who runs trails and climbs mountains whenever any are available. I've had the privilege to work for justice in Central America (Nicaragua and El Salvador), in South Africa, in the fields of California with the United Farmworkers Union, and in the cities and schools of my own country. I'm a Christian of the Episcopalian flavor; we think and argue a lot. For work, I've done a bit of it all: run an old fashioned switch-board; remodeled buildings and poured concrete; edited and published periodicals, reports and books; and organized for electoral campaigns. I am currently an independent consultant to organizations seeking "help when you have to make a fight."

Thanks for this. Why do so many public, rightwing dickheads wear bow ties, by the way? I wonder what it does to your soul to defend the indefensible day after day.
Posted at my place http://leftedgenorth.blogspot.com with a link back to you. Thank you. Kos TV is great, isn't it?
I absolutely lost it in comments at Digby's in response to the remarks of the woman from the Center for American Progress.
Matt Yglesias has spoken up to disavow her 'just shut up about torture' line as the CAP stance. Somewhat reassuring, but I'm left wondering why, if that's the case, she would be sent out onto national television from an organization that has a boatload of staff (including quite a few with a focus on the relevant issues).
