John Nichols and Tony P. Celebrate THE George W.

That's George W. as in Washington. On Wednesday evening I will have the honor of sharing the platform with the great Progressive journalist/editorial writer John Nichols of the Madison Capital Times:

What: "From George W to G.W: Taking Back Our History and Talking to Americans on Matters of War and Empire" will celebrate George Washington's anti-monarchist and anti-imperialist principles and protest the abandonment of those American values by President George W. Bush.

Details: 7-9 p.m. Wednesday, Escape Java Joint & Gallery, 916 Williamson St, Madison, WI Mapquest directions from Oshkosh can be found here. A preview of John's remarks can be found here. The organizers have asked me to talk about "how to" engage in public argument on topics like the war. At least part of what I talk about will be a summary of how conservative, liberals, and radicals need to stand together against real tyranny.
