I've always agreed, nat...I respect that, Ryan.<br /><br />I've always agreed, naturally, that we have a choice. We can fight 'em from the inside or do so from the outside. I have chosen to do so from the outside for a number of reasons, but I certainly respect friends of Israel who remain self-identified as left-wing if they are seeking to challenge progressive anti-Zionism and so long as they do not piss on my head and tell me it's raining... if you get me.Mike L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06450806807610560873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-19775542751463222372014-09-29T17:21:43.586-07:002014-09-29T17:21:43.586-07:00Ah, that's right, the 2015 schedule is out alr...Ah, that's right, the 2015 schedule is out already!<br /><br />(looking...)<br /><br />I need to be in Chicago between July 24 - 26 next year. I'm sure something will need to be delivered there that weekend. I must be the one to do it.<br /><br />I'll finally get to see Wrigley, and I'll get to root for my Phillies.

If I'm anywhere near Chicago while I'm out on the road next Spring / Summer, there is a 100% chance I will finally see a game at Wrigley.<br /><br />Interesting timing on this piece, on Wednesday I'm <i>finally</i> gonna see the <a href="http://chasingdreams.nmajh.org/" rel="nofollow">Chasing Dreams exhibit</a> in its final weeks at NMAJH.<br /><br />I no longer dismiss the notion of an unfriendly left in certain quarters, but to me the challenge is more to fight them from the inside than to leave my movement to such bigots and illiberal hypocrites.<br /><br />I take my allies as they come, issue by issue, however, and it certainly has been freeing to no longer have to play Team Politics all the time.JayinPhiladelphiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14556212008313470286noreply@blogger.com
