When I last posted, it was near Memorial Day and now Labor day is upon us. So much has happened. I have thought about posting many, many times. Instead, I have been reading a lot of other posts on various blogs all over the web. I have also been watching the news and tweeting about some of the changes that have been going on in the world. Below are a few of my observations from a very long and somewhat heartbreaking summer.
First of all, I wanted to say how sad I was to say goodbye to... Read Full Story

Iran exploded in violence this weekend, but the breaking news on that was on Twitter, ot CNN or MSNBC (I don’t even acknowledge FOX as a nedia source). I got into blogging because I wanted to work towards effecting change, but the goodpeople on twitter are shaping things up through social media microblogging. When the MSM networks decided to take the weekend off, Twitterers from Iran to California started pressuring CNN for coverage through using the hashtag #cnnfail. As you can see from...

Another death, this time from an apparent member of the Free Republic who walked up to the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. with a rifle. You can see the CNN story here. I came home from a long day and saw this piece from Daily Kos indicating that the shooter, James Von Brunn, was a member of Free Republic. Readers of this blog may remember the Free Republic from this blog post and the abusive comments that blog post caused from this group. They want to be considered “comservatives” or...

I want to thank all of the people who sent email, posted comments, and tweeted about the blog. I was really very surprised by the response. I have received such nice emails from many, many people, including some of the blogs harshest critics. On the other hand, I also received communications from regular readers that surprised me.
The following is an email that I received from someone whose name I will withhold because it was sent via email, but it meant a lot to me so I will share a... Read Full Story

To all of the bloggers who visit and my favorite lurkers,
I have been doing some thinking about this blog and have decided a few things. First, I am so appreciative of everyone who has taken time out of their day to come by and read what is written here. I have met some really great people through blogging and never ceased to be amazed at how kind you all can be.
Second, I have always thought that if you cannot do something well, then why do it. I am really proud of many of the posts... Read Full Story
