Nation Guide: Report from DC

posted by The Nation on 02/23/2009 @ 11:52am

When the elements come together in their proper form, there's nothing better than speaker nights at Drinking Liberally. Book makers sell books, restauranteurs sell food and drink, and every one has a good time. This was certainly true on February 19 at Timberlake's when DCDL hosted Chris Hayes to speak about the Nation's new book, "The Nation Guide to the Nation." And, of course, we all heard a few of Chris's thoughts on the Obama administration, and the need to criticize a Democratic administration from the left. The crowd was brimming at 60+, a fairly generous spread of ages, and one hundred percent passionate about, as Chris Hayes put it, the need to live "in a just, humane, and equitable society."
