The Politics Online Conference is coming in April and the organizers already want to know what YOU want to see (democracy? that’s crazy talk!). Let me pre-bias you in favor of a few of ‘em, since I proposed two and am part of the package for a third. To help out, just go to this online survey and rate the various suggestions. Want a hint? Scroll down just a bit and be sure to rate “Advocacy 3.0″ highly — Doktor Alan Rosenblatt is pulling it together, and it promises to be a Internet Advocacy Roundtable-style high-level thinkfest (I’m a-bringin’ my 3-D glasses so’s I can See The Future).
Then, scroll aaaaall the way down to the bottom (because I submitted them at the last possible second, as per usual) and check out my two ideas: “Barack Obama Made Me Sick! Viral Politics in the 2008 Elections” (clever title or a self-defeating one? we’ll soon know) and “Online Politics at the State Level,” two things you CLEARLY want to learn more about.

Check out this event Thursday: my old friend Hank Dearden has organized a night of progressive politics, technology, humor and beer at the excellent U Street-area hangout Busboys and Poets. Here’s the scoop:
NaturePath Productions presents XM’s most irreverent and informative original talk show, Left Jab, in a live recoding session at Busboys and Poets on January 29th. Join hosts Mark Walsh and Dave Goodfriend as they talk progressive politics, the environment, foreign policy, common sense business, beer, sports and all kinds of smack in front of a live audience. Left Jab guests have a included a wide variety of Washington insiders, including Howard Dean, Joe Trippi, Russ Feingold, Paul Begala… and now you! The conversation is smart, savvy, progressive, connected, entertaining, funny and candid in a way that you simply will not hear anywhere else on radio or television.
The event is part of Hank’s NaturePath speaker series, and it sounds like it’ll be a hoot (plus there’ll be snacks). I’ll see you there (be sure to get your ticket now), and don’t forget to keep an ear out for future NaturePath get-togethers.
