Good afternoon.
So far, it looks good. My last comment at the old site was posted. And there is a short blog roll on the right side of the page. Take it easy, SpBe, and it will all work out.
Proofreading skills fail.
OH NO!!! Not nice, much! LOOL
LOL
This is a link to my Memorial Day remembrance about visiting a Civil War cemetery in Florence, SC.
Hope you will read it although I know you have eleventy billion things to do.
Love your blog here in the hinterlands of Nikki Haley and Alvin Greene.

Hey Lynn, those pics were amazing. I am not familiar with Florena Budwin’s story, sounds like a great idea for a movie.
Do not underestimate Perry’s appeal. While many Texans know better, the South and Midwest will fall in love with him, no questions asked. If he didn’t already know this, he would not be running. While he won’t seek out debates, when he does participate in one, he’ll sound like any other Republican ideologue, but his charisma and ability to walk the party line will enable him to win every time. Perry didn’t save Texas from the Recession by creating jobs; Texas’s energy industry simply insulated us against the worst of the Recession. To get a true sense of Perry’s (destructive) ability and strict ideological loyalties, investigate what has happened to Texas’s healthcare, educational (pre-K through college), and environmental policies during his term as gub’ner. Krugman’s January article “The Texas Omen” is a place to start: http://economistsview.typepad.com/economistsview/2011/01/paul-krugman-the-texas-omen.html
SB,
Love that I found you. Eykis is a native Dallasite sitting in Cheatham County for the past ten years – work down in NashVegas as a paralegal. This Curry Todd arrest led me to your door. Look forward to your blog. Noticed you have JuanitaJeanHerownself listed, excellent. Try Malia Litman’s blog – she is eversomuch fun.
I was writing a post on the “White’s Only Swimming Pool” and saw a link back to you. So glad I did. I’m a liberal in Texas. You have a great voice, so I’ll be dropping back.
Keep up the good work.
Beale, I saw this on Kos today, thought you’d get a chuckle out of it…
Knoxville, Tennessee restaurant Bistro at the Bijou is receiving boatloads of support on Facebook after reports began surfacing that it refused service to state Senator Stacey Campfield out and asked him to leave. [...]
Campfield, who has been in the news again recently because he’s still trying to push his heinous homophobic “don’t say gay” bill in Tennessee, gave an interview last week to Michelangelo Signorile in which he asserted that bullying of gay kids “is a lark”, compared homosexuality to sex with animals, asserted that homosexuality is “glorified” in the media, and that it’s “virtually impossible” for heterosexuals to contract AIDS.
Just found your blog today. Love love love it.
–fellow liberal in a Red State (TX y’all)
