Welcome

Just getting started blogging here. I've enjoyed microblogging on my Facebook status updates then tried Twitter, but wanted to do something where I could expound a bit more.

I enjoy local politics and the occasional quip on business here and there. You can expect a little of both with a slant towards the politics stuff.

A word about 'comments.'

The thing I like about the dialouge on Facebook is that when folks comment on posts or notes, you have to stand behind it because your name is published with your comment. The problem with blogs and comments on news sites is that anonymity breeds sarcasm, personal attacks, and frankly unintelligent debate. My hope is that people here will feel free to post their actual names, think before they submit - and most of all have fun!
