POLITICS AND POWER: THEORY. The panel on the politics and power of weblogs at the American Political Science Association drew a rather large audience to a not-very-well ventilated servants parlor at the Palmer House. Several weblog operators brought their kit to the panel and posted their reports. I had advance knowledge of this post. A suggestion: if you're going to brag about your tenure offering you protection for such stunts, you really have to be more colorful. Chris at Signifying Nothing has his own impressions, with links to other sites linking to the post cited above. Eszter at Crooked Timber attended and had time this morning to post a roundup. Washington Note also attended and offers a reaction.
