I am disassociating myself with Firedoglake.com.
Although I had an account on the site for commenting, I was never a regular reader and maybe posted once or twice; still, I feel a little dirty.
I have unsubscribed from their action e-list, and though there’s no way to delete the account on the site, I did create a filter that will… Read the rest
Last year I handed out (metaphorically speaking) some Oklahoma netroots blogger awards and really intended them to become an annual thing to do on my blogiversary (Thanksgiving weekend) but not only have I been a bad blogger this year, I’ve been a pretty sporadic reader of Oklahoma-based blogs as well.
Considering my self-defined mission here (online and off),… Read the rest
Wow, this is amazing to me. First of all, not to sound like a cliche, but being nominated is so validating, especially since most of the time… Read the rest
If you are an Oklahoma Blogger, you can vote, and should. And now, because it’s the last day you can.
I happen to be nominated, for Best Political Blog, but even if you don’t vote for me, vote for your favorites in each category. It’s a great way to get better acquainted with the incredibly large and… Read the rest

There is a great op-ed, Counting Out Women, by Melissa McEwan published today in the Guardian (UK) about Chris Matthews and the general idiocy in the US media (not to mention a huge hunk of the blogosphere) about some parts of the original economic stimulus package, in which she specifically addresses the segment from Hardball that I posted… Read the rest
Wow, very cool. It really is an honor, just to be considered… of course I’d like to win it too!
Voting open to Okie bloggers. Please take time to visit and read all the nominees. It’s great that we have so many compelling voices, that the Internet allows us to share them with each other so readily, and that… Read the rest
Okie Bloggers, you have till midnight to make your selections, so hurry!
I’m ashamed to say I had to leave some categories blank, because I just didn’t read enough (or maybe any) blogs on that topic. I guess I have a good excuse on the “family blog” one since I don’t have young kids around. But otherwise my only… Read the rest
I promised to announce on Friday or Saturday, but this weekend has been nuts. Whatever possessed me to do this piece of business on a holiday weekend? Oh, yeah, my blogiversary. Okay, what kind of nut starts blogging on frakkin’ Thanksgiving!!!
Anyway, due to this being a last minute brainstorm, please forgive the lack of detail the awards… Read the rest
