Would California Be Better Off As Its Own Country?

Please join me for a free, public event on Thursday, April 22, at 7:30 p.m. at the Autry National Center in Griffith Park in Los Angeles, for what promises to be a fascinating discussion of just that question. I'll be moderating a panel with Democratic strategist (and former government official in both California and DC) Darry Sragow; author and Carey McWilliams biographer Peter Richardson; USC international relations expert Abe Lowenthal; and blogger extraordinaire Dave Dayen. The event is free (with a free reception with free drinks to follow). You can make sure you have a seat by reserving one here.
