<\/a>Just a quick note to formally announce my honor in being named a Fellow at the Commonweal Institute<\/a>. CI is a terrific, fearless, forward-thinking Progressive organization\/think-tank, and I couldn’t be prouder to have been invited to join their ranks and hopefully augment their already outstanding efforts.<\/p>\n

The rightwing has had their Wingnut Welfare Program in place for some time, so it’s nice to see organizations like CI — even if they’re not funded on anywhere near the scale of the rightwing “think-tanks” — expanding and maturing to take on so much of the disinformative nonsense coming from the extremist Right. Perhaps reality-based discourse and forward-thinking Progressivism can return someday to find it’s voice welcomed again in the public square. See their recent announcement on their new Fellows Op-Ed program<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Where I can help, I’m happy and honored to do so under the auspices of CI, in good company with a number of my fine fellow Fellows<\/a>. Be sure to check out Commonweal’s website<\/a>. Lots of good stuff to be found there, with more coming soon! And again, I’m delighted to be onboard!<\/p>\n[Ed Note<\/b>: CI Executive Director Barry Kendall will be joining me as a guest tonight on the final night of my week-long stint guest hosting the <\/i>Mike Malloy Show. Update: Interview now here,<\/a> choose HOUR 3, interview with Kendall begins just after the 11 min. mark.<\/i>]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
