Workin’ for the Weekend

Just wanted to let folks know that I haven’t been posting recently because I’ve been working for Ned Lamont’s U.S. Senate campaign. Yes, *that* Ned Lamont–the one that’s running against Joe Lieberman, the junior Republican senator from Connecticut.
Anyway, I’ll still be blogging on personal stuff, but political posting will be curtailed because of my [...]

Better looking than Brad Pitt, anyway…

So, apparently, Big Media Ezra has gotten into a tiny spat with the spry Katrina vanden Heuvel.
Most of what they’re arguing about is dry and policy-related. But vanden Heuvel kicked off her post by taking what was, to me, an unfair dig at Ezra–she called him ugly.
Now, Ezra’s a lot of things. Ugly, however, ain’t [...]

And…we’re live!

Yep. It’s finished. I finished migrating the last of the posts that I could find over here, and if you’re looking for new “Better Angels” material, this is the home.
I’ve no complaints about Typepad; it’s been a good home. But when you’re a starving student, you can’t beat free. And this is. Free, that is. [...]

Upcoming…

Relax, folks, I haven’t totally disappeared. I’m in the process of migrating from Typepad to WordPress. And, I’m in school, too, so my time’s not exactly totally free.
But, for the first time in 7 years, I’m a free man. And, man, does it feel great.

Summer House Cleaning

Since I’m now blogging on a somewhat regular basis again, I’m doing a bit of house cleaning–sweeping out old links, adding new ones, that sort of thing.
Also, I’m doing a blog reclamation project. Basically, I’m cruising the web, looking for my old weblogs, and adding the entries (or at least, the ones I can [...]

No, I Haven’t Gone Away

Really, I haven’t. But, along with my wife, I’m working very hard down the stretch on Kerry’s bid for the White House, as well as still being on active duty here in CO. So, some things had to go by the wayside temporarily, and this was one of them.
Should you still want to comment [...]

Zoe’s Greenpass

I’ll post longer articles later, including a blow-by-blow account of tonight’s primary, but I wanted to let you guys know about Zoe Vanderwolk’s new blog. Zoe’s an intern at The Gadflyer; she contributed heavily to that worthy publication’s Democratic Convention coverage, and she now has a great new blog.
Check it out; it’s here.
