I am in Berkeley, California to take part in a conference on politics. “Choosing the President in 2008: The Evolving Process and its Effects” is sponsored by the Institute of Governmental Studies and the School of Law at the University of California, Berkeley. Thursday evening, I will be part of a panel billed as an annual review of the presidency, but which will more likely be a look back at George W. Bush’s entire time in office. Also on the panel: Matthew Dowd, the disillusioned former Bushie, Lynn Sweet of the Chicago Sun-Times, and professor David M. Kennedy of Stanford. It’s at 7 p.m. at 155 Dwinelle Hall on the Berkeley campus, and is open to the public. Hope to see some Corner readers there.

And you’ll be in a nuclear-free zone.
