Bill Bradley tonight at Town Hall Seattle

Bill Bradley is speaking tonight at Town Hall Seattle about his recent book, 'New American Story.' He's speaking at 7:30pm.

I'm going to be heading over to it. I'm going to be coming from Ballard.

I think it's interesting to hear what he has to say about the book and also to check out his speech generally. He isn't running for office in the current electoral cycle, but remains an important voice for putting actual thought into our political process.

One of the things he stresses in the book is that personal political involvement is one of the building blocks of a democracy. I'm willing to buy into that at least enough to go to his talk tonight.

Saw Bradley on with Jon Stewart last week. I think it's interesting that he waits until he's not running in order to take all these idealist positions.

On the other hand, I really wanted to vote for him when he DID run for president. Unfortunately the Tennessee primary was late enough that he was no longer in the race.

The obvious resume candidate in this cycle is Bill Richardson, but he's about as likely to get nominated as Gooley is to lose his virginity.

Oh well, maybe secretary of state. He seems to do fairly well at spanking North Korea.
