Curious In These Times

Jeff of Smirking Chimp pinged me this morning with a link to the new issue of "In These Times" :

If MediaGirl is pissed because Amanda, Lindsay and me (among others) are going to Amsterdam, she's going to blow a gasket when she sees this.

Of course, I in turn may have to slap Matt Stoller upside the head just for the following quote : Volume 30: Issue 02 -- In These Times

Can Blogs Revolutionize Progressive Politics?
By Lakshmi Chaudhry

We have no interest in being anti-establishment," says Matt Stoller, a blogger at the popular Web site MyDD.com. "We're going to be the establishment." That kind of flamboyant confidence has.

I want to be The Establishment?

Words to live by

In the Beltwayâ€™s eyes, Markos leads a movement of progressives in the blogosphere. But this is inaccurate, and Markos would be the first to tell you so. Markos doesnâ€™t lead the movement. He stands in front of it and is symbolic of it, but the movementâ€™s direction and interests flow directly from the people who compose it. The movement is a bottom-up thing, not something that a guy leads from the top.

Itâ€™s probably comforting for Democratic politicians to believe that Markos leads the movement in the progressive blogosphere. That being the case, all they have to do is soothe the savage breasts of Markos and other rabble-rousing bloggers and then get back to business as usual. Thatâ€™s why Democratic politicians are so unfailingly solicitous of the liberal bloggers.
