Month: November 2006

Wow, poking around the internet for a few minutes and I stumble upon the mother load of Blue Tiger videos. The following are parts of a talk on Internet Giving and Civic Engagement, but before that, read this section of the press release announcing the new arrangement between Blue Tiger and the Michigan Democrats: The…

Will Washington be the second? Probably not, we don’t get much for Blue Tiger Democrats up in these parts, but I love their mantra of “sending money to local organizations to serve their community and build the base.” Here is Blue Tiger chair’s Bill Samuels’ Kos Diary on his Wyoming Trip (where the deal with…

I’ve been listening to Radio Open Source (donate here) consistently for about two months now. I always tried to listen to the show, since I fell in love with its format for a year and a half, but getting an mp3 player made the difference for me. What I like about it is that they…

Not what I hope to do long term at Washblog (more of a Daily Glean meets WSPR), but I think my first post fits more up there than down here.

Maybe there are some things, like the post 9-11 flag craze, getting all excited about the Yankees that just don’t travel all the way out West. One of these things could be overall dislike for George W. Bush, and maybe that is why Darcy Burner lost. (Though, I like the grassroots argument that if there…

Here are my efforts today on Kos and Redstate to attempt to get things going. Here are some posts on their utter outrage (lets see if it translates into action): Michelle…

Maybe I’m old timey (like 2005 old timey), but don’t they hold elections for these kinds of things? From the point of view of CNN the chair of the RNC is an appointed position. From the view of one who read’s the RNC’s rules, it is an elected position and the President does not have…

From the WDFW. I think this needs no explanation, but the introduction from Jeff Koenings, director of WDFW is pretty telling: Quite clearly Puget Sound is at a tipping point. Above the surface, things appear calm and peaceful and beautiful. And, Puget Sound remains the crown jewel of the Pacific Northwest. But, below the surface,…

I didn’t follow the Peter Goldmark campaign as close as I did other races, but it surprises me that he faired worse than the “no” campaigns on two right wing ballot initiatives in the 5th Congressional District. Both No on 920 and No on 933 had better returns in the several east side counties that…
