As part of my online activism, I participate in a number of forums. One of the most recent is my posting some of my material at Newsvine.com. There are a number of people I know that don’t care for Newsvine as it seems to hold the same opinion so many other social networking […]

I’m sitting in the Atlanta airport waiting for colleagues to fly in from Chicago. We’ll meet up and head to the hotel for a conference. Nothing I haven’t done before and so have many of you.

It’s amazing the things I never think about on my own. My brains stays pretty busy with work, blogging, family, church and all the normal things that fill up an average life. Every now and then I appreciate being jolted out of my reverie. That’s what happened this morning when I read […]

Blue Collar Muse @ April 7, 2008 # 4 Comments

It’s incredibly disheartening to read. But it is anything but surprising. Skip, at Granite Grok, reports that during a recent confab of Democrats a brief lull ensued after all the exciting stuff wound down. After wondering aloud what Mrs. Clinton must have felt while dodging sniper bullets in Bosnia and after […]

Free the Oklahoma 3!!

Blue Collar Muse @ March 24, 2008 # 8 Comments

One of our most cherished rights is to petition our government. If there’s a problem, we want our representatives to know so they can fix it. Imagine, however, if a top law enforcement official denied this right to citizens. Imagine he arrested them, threatening them with fines and imprisonment. Imagine it’s being driven by partisan […]

Democrats Flounder in FL and MI …

Blue Collar Muse @ March 21, 2008 # No Comment Yet

One wonders what is really going on in the inner circles of Democratic politics these days. Half of the Left’s talking heads argue Florida and Michigan should revote and the other half disagree.
I’m a little confused as to what all the ruckus is about. Isn’t this a simple internal Democratic issue that could […]

Cross-Posted from The Tennessee ConserVOLiance.
[UPDATE 3/5/8 @ 13:10] - I spoke to AG Cooper’s office a few moments ago and was informed that General Cooper is not in town today. The lady I spoke with helpfully gave me General Cooper’s email address and connected me to his voice mail. I’ve left him a […]
