Updating Blog

I have been making changes to my blog on a daily basis.  I have added Amazon books that I recommend and I have added some ads.  Although the ads are nice, I’m not to wild about the fact that John McCain ads are showing on my blog.  Whatever!  I have some web guru’s working on getting me something else displayed.  Bear with me.  I’m not supporting McCain.  That ain’t happening.

Wiped out

really can’t post anything meaningful.  Should be better tomorrow.

O’Reilly Needs a Variety Show

I just don’t think that this news thing is working out for Bill O’Reilly. I thought that O’Reilly’s personal low was when he reported on Hanna Montana’s “racy photos.” That was news?

Now he does a segment on the DailyKos, where I have been nearly every day for the past week or so. There have been some great stuff posted, but O’Reilly found someone who posted something about Jenna Bush’s wedding. Is this news? Really?

Currently on DailyKos there are posting on Obama firing back on McCain over foreign policy. That seems to be a relevant topic. There is a posting on Harry Reid and the Democrats winning the fight over FEC appointments. Finally, there is a article about Senator John McCain’s campaign being flush with lobbyists.

The best part of Bill’s segment is that he interview’s internet “expert” Mary Katherine Ham. An internet expert? What the heck is that? Does she work for Google? She is a blogger. She is a right-wing blogger. She is no more an expert on the internet than I am.

My Blog

I seem to be having some trouble embedding video, but I’m trying to correct it. I hope that you like the new look.

Hey, New Threads!!

Where is the Outrage (WTO) has some new clothes. I hope that you like them. If you have any suggestions that would make WTO better, I would love to hear them.

Final Thoughts From PA

  • Quinnipiac University released its latest polling numbers. Unlike many of the folks polling these days in Pennsylvania, Quinnipiac has been in the state for a long time. They know what they are doing. Senator Hillary Clinton is up by six percent. This identical to their poll from two weeks ago. Interestingly, in that poll, one-third of Clinton supporters thought that she wasn’t going to win the nomination. Now, if some of these folks don’t show up for Clinton or they switch allegiance to Senator Barack Obama, the scales might tip in Obama’s favor. Also, I have heard that over 150,000 new voters have signed up.
  • AggieDemocrat on DailyKos are asking folks to vote for Obama. Funny read.
  • Keystone Politics has two opposing articles. One states that Obama will win Pennsylvania. The other post states that Clinton will win by double-digits. Ironically, both articles are written by the same person. I think that Clinton will win, but it will be very close.
  • 2 Political Junkies have some great pictures from a Clinton rally that took place on Monday.
  • Lehigh Valley Political Blog wonders if Clinton doesn’t win the nomination then who would be the next viable woman who could run for President. I’m not sure that there are any female Senators or Congresswomen in position to run for President in 2012.

High-five to Me

C&L has linked to me!! Totally cool.

C&L readers,  I hope that you look around and enjoy. Thanks for stopping by.

Dare I say it?

I’m up and running again. We’ll see how long we’ll last. ;-)

Blogging and Surgery

Just got out of the OR.  5 hour case.  Man, I’m tired.   Blog is still screwed up.  I can’t upload pictures and movies.  So, pooh.

Hopefully, my computer gurus will have me back up and running in the morning.

Still having problems

I can’t upload anything to the blog in spite of upgrading.  The computer geeks are working on it.  You’ll know when the problem is fixed.  There will be great photos and video that is not embedded.  (although I will still use some embedded video, I like the fact that I don’t have rely on someone else’s stuff to work.)

Up and Running

After a WordPress vulnerability was exploited, my blog was disabled a couple of times this week. I’m not sure who the genius was who found out that problem with WordPress. I’m not sure that I care. I’m glad there was an upgrade. I’m just sorry that I didn’t catch the guy who was screwing up my blog!!

Repaired, I think

My Blog has been down for a while. Unclear how it got down. The computer gurus have fixed it.

Sorry.

TL at Obama Rally

I got a call last night at about 9:30 pm (EST). It was our very own Texas Liberal. He was at the Obama rally. Obama hadn’t come on yet and TL was stoked. I hope that TL will give us a sense of what being at an Obama Rally was like.

Last night, Barack Obama seemed to bring more substance and policy. He seemed to be responding to critics that he didn’t have any substance. Unfortunately, the speech wasn’t as inspirational. Still he truly laid out a plan for changing America into the country that we love and preparing America for the future.

Countdown - Post Debate Analysis

Keith Olbermann interviews Arianna Huffington, Josh Marshall and John Amato about the Democratic Debate.

This segment was way too short. These guys are very knowledgeable about politics. Hell, maybe those 3 should run for office. Oh, yeah, Arianna did. She lost to the governator.

New Progressive Contest

thinking-cap New Progressive Contest

Put on your progressive thinking caps. I have another contest that is coming up in February. Amazon gift cards for $100 for the winner. Great 2nd and 3rd place prizes.  Look for the announcement in 2 days.

Blogging from the Atlanta Airport

I’m still here and I’m still lovin’ it.  NOT!  The good news, is that I do have a boarding pass.  The bad news is that the plane will not leave for another 3 1/2 hours.

Blogging and other issues

Blogging will be light for the next several days. I’m at a trauma conference and I’m supposed to be paying attention.

  • What was the point of Hillary Clinton opening up the race thing? I heard a discussion on Ed Schultz show yesterday where a Black woman stated that Black women in South Carolina were being forced to chose between being a women (voting for Hillary) and being Black (voting for Obama). This is where this argument has headed. This is craziness? You mean a Black man can’t be sensitive to women’s issues? A White woman can’t be sensitive to the needs of the Black community? Give me a break. Officially, there has been a truce.
  • For reasons that are unclear to me Senator Mitchell is testifying on Capital Hill today about Baseball and steroids. First of all, I would hope that Congress has better things to do with their time. Secondly, it is clear that Roger Clemens took steroids, just as Barry Bonds has. You can’t put on 30 - 40 lbs of muscle in your late 30’s to early forties. I don’t care what kind of great training the player is doing. Can you lose fat? Sure. I’m talking about putting on a significant amount of muscle. Steroids.
  • I’m typing this post on my Dell Inspiron computer. I bought this computer about 4 or 5 years ago. It has been a good little computer. I really haven’t had any major problems. I have been able to do just about anything that iI wanted with this computer. It is a little heavy but I have the wide screen. Today, Apple has announced a thin computer. I mean a super-thin, light-weight computer (0.76 inches thick). If I only had $1700… okay, $1800 laying around.
  • John Conyer (D-Mi) chairman of the House Judiciary committee, has called on the attorney general to name a special prosecutor to look into how and who destroyed the CIA’s torture tapes.
  • Republican candidate Mike Huckabee stated last night that he wanted to amend the constitution so that it is consistent with God (banning abortion and gay marriage).  Now, I have a problem any time someone believes that they know the will of God.  When scholars disagree, then it is clear that none of us have a monopoly on the will of God.

Props

I would like to give my fellow blogger, Texas Liberal, a high five. He has been blogging with me for about a year now. He thinks outside of the box. His posts are insightful. I appreciate his help. We had a very good 2007 and look forward to a great 2008!!

Blogging Awards

monkeyfister Blogging Awards

I hadn’t heard of the Monkeyfister blog. I tend to get into a rut and look at the same blogs all of the time. Well, I went on a link journey yesterday and found Monkeyfister who gave out some awards to smaller progressive blogs. Although, I’m sorry I wasn’t nominated but there were some excellent winners.
