Later this morning or perhaps closer to noon, I'm going to put up more morsels from our reader research into sundry instances of chumminess between Tom DeLay and Jack Abramoff after their alleged made-for-Hollywood parting of ways in February 2001.

But for now I wanted to let you know that we have a new Table for One guest at TPMCafe starting this morning, Andrew Rasiej.

He's running for New York City Public Advocate. And I know the great majority of you don't live in New York or the surrounding area. But I had him on because he's talking about a bundle of issues and ideas about technology and reinventing civic life in the United States, ones which are just as relevant in Houston or Cincinnait or San Francisco, and ones which should be of particular interest to many readers of this site.

Stop by the Table for One and see what you think.
