Even those of us who have some doubt that Justice Sonia Sotomayor will be as liberal as some hope and others fear overwhelmingly supported her confirmation because of her extremely impressive qualifications for the position. But one always has to be a bit cautious about conflating an Appellate Judge's more limited jurisprudence with what they would do once on the Supreme Court. So court observers should find her questions during oral arguments on Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission very interesting and significant.

Here in New York City, we're being deluged with direct mail, not only for Mayor (why doesn't Bloomberg just save his money, since we all know him, and he's gonna win, anyway?) but for lower offices, such as Comptroller and DA.

This diary will be about the candidates for DA. It's an interesting campaign. Please join me after the fold for my comments about the candidates and their campaign strategies.

An alternate title for this, my first Daily Kos diary, is "What can we learn from Cuban low-petroleum agriculture?"

Cuba, a country that has faced economic hardship as a result of punitive, longstanding economic sanctions from the U.S. and an end to subsidies from the defunct Eastern Bloc and Soviet Union, as well as increases in oil prices and other costs affecting the world at large, can in some ways serve as a laboratory for other countries that have not yet faced these problems so severely but probably will later.

I believe we can learn valuable lessons from Cuba's experience with organic agriculture, if we are willing to drop some of our assumptions.
