Fight disinformation: Sign up for the free Mother Jones Daily newsletter and follow the news that matters.

Quick housekeeping note.  I’ll be at Netroots Nation in Pittsburgh on Friday and Saturday of next week.  It’s always nice to meet people who read the blog, so if you’ll be there too and happen to see me wandering the hallways, be sure to stop me and say hi.

I’ll also be moderating the noon keynote panel on Saturday, “Building a 21st Century Economy.”  The panelists, who will be doing most of the actual talking, are Jon Corzine, governor of New Jersey; Anna Burger, chair of the Change to Win labor coalition; and Dean Baker, the economist who’s been warning us about the housing bubble longer than just about anyone.  Should be a good session.  If you have any questions you’d like tossed at these guys, leave ’em in comments.

Fact:

Mother Jones was founded as a nonprofit in 1976 because we knew corporations and billionaires wouldn't fund the type of hard-hitting journalism we set out to do.
