KOMO TV hosts a blogger meet and greet
I was invited to attend a meet and greet at KOMO TV tonight.
The invitation came as a surprise I admit, but then I thought about what the bloggers represent in the new age of media.

If the Toths are as broke as the Tampa Tribune portrays them, is the prosecution worth pursuing? Feel free to state your opinion. Enforcing the law probably seldom makes sense from a cost benefit perspective, but what would be the cost and consequenc…

Dear Cao,
How are you? I’ve been wondering, what ever happened to Justice for Jack? When you see him or hear from him again, please tell him that I said, “Thank you for serving our country. Welcome home.” Now we must find justice, unless there is a good reason why he does not wish to persue this. Anyway, I’m really glad they’re home, and I thank you for letting me play a small part. Have a great weekend.

Rosemary, we are still calling for Justice for Jack, but there is no one to write it. I am just very bogged down with scheduling issues and going to school, managing this and the Wide Awakes, and having a life. Rottypup is taking a rest, and he was the one that was putting it together. When I went over to his blog, it appears as though the last several posts over there were totally about Jack.
I think Rotty needs to move away from the Jack Idema story and do what he was doing before.
Ultimately, Jack is out of Afghanistan, and that was what we were working for.
Jack is not in the United States, so i wish people would stop congratulating him for coming home.
Cheers, ~Cao.

Democrats Manipulate Democracy and Censor Free Spe
The democrats have been on a role the last few days. They apparently have decided to do whatever is necessary to get their approval ratings out of the basement, even if it means taking on tactics that would do Stalin proud.
