- So that's how it works.

The reason I started posting here less is because I didn't know how the system worked, as in where to post. As a result I just avoid the front threads altogether. Just as well some might say.

Back to politics......

My daughter has little interest in politics, but I got her to watch a bit of Obama's speech so she could tell her kids someday that she witnessed history in the making. To my astonishment, Pat Pukhanan on MSNBC even admitted it to be, "the best nomination speech ever."

And of course, the AP ran what has become their usual Obama hit piece on the speech that had to have been written before it was even finished...

unless you are responding (replying only) to a specific post, the posting moves at the "proper time" (9, 5, 12, 1) to the new thread. . . .

- Meet the new FL Supreme Court judge.

By floridagal . on Aug 29, 2008 1:45 AM EDT

He used to be a Democrat.  But now he is a right wing Republican.  Florida Democrats have an identity problem.

Meet Charles Canady, the new Florida Supreme Court judge.

He is anti-choice and and pro-vouchers for private religious schools.   I remember when he used to be a supporter of public schools.

Seashell posts a little at HEP -- she got some virtual snowballs thrown the other day by several bloggers at once here so I think she gave it up -- not to speak for Seashell she is perfectly capable of speaking for herself...
