Links from Thursday Night

I did this once before and thought it might be good to make a tradition of it. Here are some links from the discussion at DCDL last night:

• Public Knowledge, where our speaker, Art Brodsky, is communications director
• Donna Edwards, the progressive candidate challenging corporate incumbent Rep. Al Wynn in the February 12 Democratic primary for Maryland’s 4th congressional district
• The Carbon Tax Center (where one attendee volunteers) and whether cap-and-trade is really as good as a carbon tax
• Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert’s comments on South Africa and the Palestinians, as discussed at Crooked Timber
• Stopping counterfeit designer goods as a priority in fighting terror
• Mark Kleiman’s comments on Christopher Hitchens’s Slate article bashing Hanukkah
• The DC Democrats’ holiday party and straw poll on Monday and whether we’ll see Marion Barry participating in the karaoke
• Rudy Giuliani’s connections with a Qatari royal who protected Khalid Sheikh Muhammad
• The movie Death of a President and whether it’s on Netflix (it is)
• Murray Waas’s new article on Mike Huckabee and serial rapist Wayne Dumond
