Late afternoon/early evening open thread

What you missed on Sunday Kos ...

  • Dante Atkins expounded on an overarching theory of progressivism.
  • Gallup is out with their semi-annual state-by-state analysis of the job approval ratings for President Obama. Steve Singiser looked at those numbers and at the electoral college and offered a rough snapshot of the state of the 2012 presidential sweepstakes.
  • Denise Oliver Velez explored why we have abandoned the idea of the working class and substituted it for a "fuzzy" middle.
  • Armando discussed "The Lessons Of Frederick Douglass." Meteor Blades' avowed hero was Frederick Douglass. Since MB is a life-long committed activist, this should not be surprising. Along with Martin Luther King and Susan B. Anthony, it is difficult to find an activist who so successfully accomplished substantive and concrete objectives as Douglass. What are the  lessons Frederick Douglass teaches for the activist of today? Yes, "Agitate! Agitate! Agitate!" But much, much more.
  • The Tea Partiers have broken loose from their Republican keepers. Hunter asked what happens next.
  • DemFromCT reviewed escalating medical costs and why demands not to touch Medicare at all cannot be satisfied.
