Well, I knew I never was, but Mike just stopped by to point out that I wasn’t in the first place. He also pointed out that he has an email address for his campaign now, which is encouraging: normoyleforolympia@hotmail.com. So I would encourage anyone insterested to hit him up with questions. Also, another candidate, Jim…

On September 6 the Senate will be back in session and should start their discussions on the nomination of Justice Roberts. So, the importance of the Supreme Court on our lives and how we can make our voices heard during the nomination process will be our topic. Tuesday, September 6 from 7 to 9 p.m….

I just finished an email to a city council candidate, one that I hope wins, advising in part that she start writing a blog on her website. Blogs are a great way to engage voters, organize supporters and let people know what’s going on with your campaign without having to depend on the paper: In…

Not he. That whole thing with Michael and the comments (trust me, it is good reading) got me thinking this morning,…

I’m not going to be so lame that I cross post everything here at Olyblog and vice versa, but here’s my first (real) post over there: I’m not assuming that anyone watched “Tommy Lee Goes To College” last night. If you did, I think you know what I’m talking about when I say that 5…

And, it ain’t CNN. In addition to the use of the word “ain’t” and the reference to a Southern-based news network, I hate the catch phrase that Olyblog uses. And, that is the only thing I hate about Olyblog, because in general, in the 6 minutes and 1 second I’ve been User #3 down there,…

Just in case that link doesn’t work for you now or in the future, here’s a nice picture for you:
