A Festivus for the Restofus
The Blogging Dippers initiative by Robert at My Blahg has created a lot of talk about blogging groups.

Vertigo -You know you’re in campaign mode when innocuous comments by a communications director and critique from…Bono, become big news. It’s kind of funny, if you think about it. Paul Wells recently posted a link to the “Making History” speech and I remember the buzz at the leadership convention was of whether or not Paul […]
