I’ll have to look into this proposal from the FEC before I make up my mind, but on the surface it appears reasonable.
The Federal Election Commission proposed new rules Friday that would leave almost all Internet political activity unregulated. The proposal would, however, require paid advertisements for federal candidates on the Internet to be paid [...]

Cloaked in the nice-sounding phrase campaign reform is an assault on free speech — particularly political free speech. One of my first posts to get any attention was on this subject.
Is that post you just made, the one favorable to candidate Blah B. Blah that you hope will help get him elected, a thing of [...]

At the start of the year I posted an idea for a bloggers conference. I didn’t pursue it as actively as I needed to and I was too ambitious with the time frame, so it ended up on the back burner.
I recently found out (and was reminded again today by Chris Short blogging at [...]

The confirmation hearings of Judge Samuel Alito have been the natural focus of the past week. And while the left is still looking for ways to delay the confirmation, very few have any doubt about what the results will be. The left reminds me of a football team down by 17 points at the two [...]

No, not me. The AP story headlined Internet Fosters Local Political Movements by Ron Fournier. No need for me to quote much from that article. It’s mostly just a puff piece for Morons.org anyway. A teaser paragraph at the begining of the story says,
From a homemaker-turned-kingmaker in Pittsburgh to dog owners in New York to [...]

Read this:
President Bush is trying to convince skeptical Americans that Iraqi forces are increasingly able to protect their nation but the president is not ready to set dates for withdrawing U.S. troops.
In a speech Wednesday at the U.S. Naval Academy, Bush was detailing the training of Iraqi security forces and talking about the territories Iraqis [...]

First it was the local officials and the press. The left wasn’t far behind (if at all), and even comments from the right started early. Now Congress is weighing in. Democrats are mostly sitting this phase out, not because they don’t think it’s right, but because they don’t think it will be mean enough. So [...]

The writers and readers of the blogasphere have done an amazing, outstanding job in raising donations. Those who have logged their contributions with TTLB have donated $673,818 at the time I’m writing this. But they have done more than that. They have helped with information and with awareness as well. Won’t you take a minute [...]

Support:

To bear the weight of, especially from below.
To hold in position so as to keep from falling, sinking, or slipping.
To be capable of bearing; withstand
To keep from weakening or failing; strengthen
To provide for or maintain, by supplying with money or necessities.

It may seem as if the 5th definition is the one that most [...]

Due to the spawn of satan mentioned in my previous post there were several stories I missed blogging about. The beauty of the blogisphere is that there is always someone out there to take up the slack.
Iowa Voice had two articles worth reading, “Cindy Sheehan: Missing Photos, Hate, and Other Things” and “Kelo Case Reaches [...]

Did you ever see the movie Westworld? Yul Brynner plays a robot in a futuristic theme park. It’s not the best movie ever made and it’s not the scariest, but there was one great device the movie used to make it very suspensful; Yul Brynner just wouldn’t die! Every time they kill him off, back [...]
