We have a new blogger around these parts. Vic DeMize (a great name too) has started a blog called Pragmatists Corner.

If your like me and don't know what pragmatists means, here is a definition from The Free Dictionary

prag·ma·tism (prgm-tzm)
n.
1. Philosophy A movement consisting of varying but associated theories, originally developed by Charles S. Peirce and William James and distinguished by the doctrine that the meaning of an idea or a proposition lies in its observable practical consequences.
2. A practical, matter-of-fact way of approaching or assessing situations or of solving problems.

Go check him out he's got some good stuff going. Check him out before Bush has us all shutdown.

Vic has been around since the old BBS days. You know dial up modems. Back in my day we had 2400 baud modems and WE LIKED IT! We dowloaded up hill both ways. You kids with the fancy broadband don't know how good you have it.

Welcome aboard Vic, (your going to burn in hell for using that internet!)

Robert from Left of Centrist left a reminder about Blogathon. Visit early and often. Maybe even make a donation!

Only 1 day left to go over to Left of Centrist and sponser Robert for Blogathon 2007. It's for a great cause, The EARTH! what could be better then that?

I added Let's Talk to the blog list, he's a Bill Maher fan too, and has some videos from the HBO special posted on his site. He has some other good info, and is worth checking out each day. He has a another site called Let's Talk About It, both sites have different things so both are worth reading.

Robert at Left of Centrist is going to be doing Blogathon 2007 again this year. He's blogging to help The Alliance for Climate protection for more info go to his post at Left of Centrist. There is still plenty of time to make a donation and help out a great organization, and help the planet. Something we just can't live without.

It's a good cause and should be fun to see some of those late night post after no sleep for 20+ hours.

It also seen that searching for Pandagon can get you to "Der Parson's Rant". I think it buried in Google now because of all the attention this has gotten. It sucks that Pandagon and Amanda Marcotte have ended up quiting working for the Edwards campaign. It's probaby better for them with all the hate mail and threats. Hopefully they will get back to some normal on their sites and Edwards can get this behind him. I'm not saying I'm glad they aren't on the campaign, I am just saying In my opinion is probably better. It's hard to believe "christians" act with all that hate and such. That shows me being christian is the same a being a fanatic muslim. Winston Churchill said it best, "A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject"(thanks wikipedia). I guess I missed a meeting or something I though christians were suppose to be following the teaching of Jesus. I might be fuzzy on the subject but I don't remember Jesus hating people. I guess my respect for christians is at a all time low thanks to this episode. I probably could go on for hours but I will take a break before I become a rightwing Bush warshiping nutjob. I see were McCain is becoming a wanna be Bush. oooh McCain: Roe v. Wade should be overturned or McCain Defends Bush's Iraq Strategy. ITMFBHE (Impeach The Motherless Fool Before He's Elected) yeah, I just made that up, I'm bored.

I have been checking out my site meter stats and check this out, if you do a google search for isreal news articals on google, you see "Der Parson's rant" right there on the first page.

On site meter you can get a world picture that shows were visitors are from, I see one or two from there in the middle east. One all the way from China.

I guess it doesn't take much to impress me. I thought it was kind of cool, I would have never though Google would ever come close to this little blog.

I don't know if you been keeping up with the Edwards scandle thing going on about the bloggers. There is a story here Taylor Marsh. The one blogger Pandagon resigned, if you try and go to her site it just a supended message up.
She put some of the hate mail she has got from them types, and it's not very Christian, some of it is just very wrong. I really has me pissed off these people call themselves christians, they sound like Muslim extremist. It must help them sleep at night knowing they sent a nasty e-mail to someone. How can they belive that is what Jesus would do? Have they ever opened a Bible? The whole "let he that is without sin" story is a good example of what he would have said about this whole thing.

If possible I'm going to try and send Pandagon a nice e-mail letting her know not everyone out here is a insane nutjob. I have to wait until her site comes back to find her email address, if she even has it on there anymore.

A lot of stuff is still going on over John Edwards and his bloggers.

Aldon Hynes has a pretty good piece here, I am Amanda Marcotte and I am Amanda marcotte, Part 2. It's a interesting story to me especially dealing with how bloggers are treated.

There is also some more here on Taylor Marsh
