Ryan Koronowski is deputy editor of Climate Progress at the Center for American Progress, and for a young guy he's had a long and grueling career in liberal politics (including time with me on the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign). And he's pretty damned well-read.  

Oh, and there's a brief guest appearance from my 3-year-old boy, as well as some spilled beer.
