If you are a regular reader of DailyKos, then you probably know of Bill in Portland Maine and his extremely entertaining and informative “Cheers and Jeers’ feature.  Today, he is interviewing one of the regular contributors to the DailyKos community – Malacandra a/k/a Miles Kurland.  He’s a web developer and designer with strong political feelings and, apparently, great taste in music:
