I want to thank Charley for partiipating in my PoliBlogs class at Tufts University this evening.
Charley, EaBo Clipper and Jay Tea from Wizbang joined our last class on Politics & the Blogosphere and made for an interesting and wide-ranging discussion about political blogs and their participation in political dialogue, electoral politics, and news delivery.
I very much enjoyed Charlie’s thoughtful and frank observations — which I almost entirely agreed with. He is a fine ambassador for BMG – but you all knew that.
Please share widely!

Pretty few people in my life always manage to remember the “e” at the end of my name. All because my parents wanted my name to look a little more French. sigh

How would a Boston Brahmin pronounce “Leverett?” Would he/she find some way to remove the “r”?

Just wasn’t sure if i could draw that parallel, as the town isn’t the most Brahmin of places (and unlike some areas that are now working class, I’m not sure if Everett ever was well to do).
wavemaker says
he was simply called “Lev.”
