A great blog, a great blogger...
When I was up in NY I had the pleasure -- once again! -- of hanging out with Liza Sabater, of Culture Kitchen fame. I first met Liza when a group of liberal bloggers met on a conference call to respond to the Alito nomination. "Culture Kitchen," I thought, "what the hell is that?"
Most of us wanted a filibuster. Liza led the plea. Some of the better known bloggers (I don't call them "A-list" because that implies that to score high you need to be big) shot her down in a New York minute. Alito, who replaced Sandra Day O'Connor on the court, made it possible for a 5-4 majority to roll back freedom of choice rules for the first time since Roe v. Wade was decided. (Thanks to the men on that call who pushed back on a filibuster.)
Who knew that the blogger with the biggest cojones on that conference call would be a woman? Go figure.
