Macaca in Denver
Congratulations to Sepia Mutiny for getting credentialed at the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver. Thanks to their tireless efforts, there will finally be a desi presence [from the blogosphere] at the national stage in American politics. Let’s hope they don’t have to cover a brokered convention.
