Save the Date: July 23rd - Free Paul Jacob and the “Oklahoma 3″
March 13, 2008
Paul Jacob spoke to the Oklahoma Political News Service today after his scheduling-hearing, and announced that his preliminary hearing is scheduled for July 23, 2008. Jacob, is part of the “Oklahoma 3″ who have been indicted on felony charges of violating an Oklahoma residency law that has been reinterpreted retroactively, for political reasons.
In this interview, Jacob talks about the lack of coverage in the main-stream media for this trial, and for the ballot-initiative crisis in general, and he encourages the bloggers and new media to do everything they can to get the word out. If you live within driving distance to Oklahoma City, plan to be there on July 23rd to support the Oklahoma 3.

Defeat John Murtha!
February 28, 2008
The Republican challenger to John “The Marines killed innocent civilians in cold blood” Murtha is William Russell, and his name had conveniently been tossed off the ballot in his Pennsylvania district, the Johnstown, PA Tribune Democrat reports, because it was determined he only had 993 “valid” signatures on his petition, seven short of the 1,000 required.

ConservaBlogs Liberty Wordpress Theme
February 20, 2008
Welcome to the Liberty Wordpress Theme page. There is good news, and there is bad news. Let’s get to the bad news first.
A few months back we talked with a freelancer about getting a Wordpress Theme set up for us to give away for free. We wanted something political, as we are a political site. After a couple of weeks we received a concept that we all liked and the freelancer sent us the files. I posted the theme here, and since then it has seen several hundred downloads.
The Bad News
The theme, as I have only just discovered, is not in any way original. In fact, it is almost completely ripped from Sadish over at WP Rocks. The images were changed and the visual side of things were moved around quite a bit, but the code structure, much to my surprise, was not in any way different from the original theme design.
While I’m writing this I want to go ahead and apologize to Sadish, as I commented before actually looking at the code myself. I’ve seen MANY very similar WP designs in my years of blogging and I made the mistake of trusting the freelancer over Sadish without looking for myself.
As you can see in a WP Rocks post titled Ripoff or Not You Tell Me, Sadish is quite concerned about this, as he should be.
I’ll be honest here in saying that I pretty much ignored this all until last night when Ryan over at PixoPoint contacted me with a well mannered explanation of what was going on. I’ve got many projects going on right now and I haven’t, until now, had a chance to get out and read the comments on other sites. Thanks to Ryan, I now fully understand what is happening, and I’m siding with Sadish on the theme.
So, there you have it… the Liberty Theme is a ripoff of the Seashore Theme. I’ve contacted the freelancer and have yet to hear anything back from her. I see that there are several comments on her blog as well, so hopefully she will address this issue soon.
The Good News
The good news is that Sadish still offers his SeaShore Theme for free, and you can download it here.
I’ll be talking with Sadish over the next few days to see if we can come to an agreement with the idea of re-releasing the Liberty Theme as a mod of SeaShore and give full credit in the footer to Sadish.
More on that soon.
Best Regards,

Quelling the McCain Mutiny
February 19, 2008
About the only consolation Republicans can take from the presidential race right about now is that the Democrats are even more screwed up than they are. Some consolation. But that might be the only glint of optimism for Republicans, as the mutiny by conservatives against the party’s all-but-crowned presidential nominee is far wider and far deeper than many would care to admit.

Why Blogrolling is Useless
February 15, 2008
Shortly after FHK launched we began searching for ways to increase our rankings on the search engines. The prevailing wisdom was that one good way to do this is to maintain a blogroll (that’s the ridiculously long list of blogs in the sidebar of many blogs), as it is a good way for bloggers to exchange much needed “links,” increase their link count, and move up in the ratings.
