Kathleen Parker hit the nail on the head with today’s column. Known as an ultra-conservative columnist, I hardly ever agree with what she writes. But her article, titled “Giving Up on God,” was an honest assessment of the GOP’s woefully pathetic state of affairs.
I felt refreshed reading it. Seriously. You should read it.

I attended the PRSA seminar today on how to use social media (like blogging, Twitter, Facebook, etc.) during crisis communication. It was an interesting session and if you want to learn more about the nuts and bolts of the discussion check out the Costa DeVault blog tomorrow.

Finally, we have a president who understands the power of technology and the importance of reaching out to the American people.
During his campaign, Barack Obama revolutionized how political campaigns used technology. And, now he’s taking this 21st-Century mentality all the way to the White House. Already, the transition web site has an RSS feed (trust [...]
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said Wednesday she would consider serving in the Senate if God gave her the opportunity and Alaskans wanted her to take the job. The state’s senior senator, Republican Ted Stevens, fell behind as the count resumed in his re-election bid.
We still don’t know the official results of the Alaska recount. If [...]
It hasn’t been the greatest week for MSNBC. First, Morning Joe was forced to go to a seven-second delay because the host let a four-letter word slip. Oops.
Then, anchor David Shuster thought he discovered the source who leaked news about Sarah Palin now knowing the difference between a country and a continent.
“Turns out it was [...]
