DNC, Meetups, and family
Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Mon, 11/22/2004 - 20:50Recently, Zephyr Teachout wrote, Come Together, Right Now: The Internet's Unlit Fuse. It is a great entry, with an interesting following discussion that everyone should read. I’ve scanned it, but not spent the time with it that I want to. There has been another discussion on various mailing lists about Meetups, and I’ve added a few comments to these discussions, and pointed people to Zephyr’s post.
In other news, the AP is reporting that Gov. Vilsack will not seek to become the chair of the DNC. It will be interesting to see how this effects the positioning by various people, including Howard Dean, to become DNC chair.

Watching the DNC

Phone cards for our troops
Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Sat, 11/20/2004 - 13:20Today, I received an email saying that “the number ONE request at Walter Reed VA hospital is phone cards”.
In a recent press release, MCI announced it would be providing free phone cards to U.S. Armed Forces personnel stationed in Iraq as well as at Walter Reed and Bethesda Medical centers.
The community of Clark Supporters is on this. Badvertisers is in on this.
Target and Salvation Army
Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Sat, 11/20/2004 - 13:10Recently, I stumbled across a blog entry talking about how Target is not allowing the Salvation Army to ask for donations on their property. Hugh Hewitt writes about it here, and points to an article at Boston.com about this. Other conservative bloggers have also picked up on this.
Last month, a Target opened up in our town. I don’t like shopping. My wife does the shopping for the family. She loves target. She hates Walmart. Is some of this political? Perhaps. So, I thought I would dig a little deeper.
