Good news, great time, but....

UPDATE:  As Bob notes in comments, the Meetup has been postponed; apparently others have had to cancel for this weekend, so they are looking at sometime in January.

While I'm sorry that this happened, I should be in shape to attend in January.


Pam Saavedra has put together a meetup of left-leaning bloggers from the Memphis and
Nashville areas for this Saturday in Nashville

It will start at 11 AM at Tennessee Democratic Party HQ, at 223 8th Avenue North, 2nd floor

Speakers will be House Majority Leader Gary Odom, and our own Liz Rincon.

It will be a great time for all and I looked forward to attending, until..........

The damn left leg attacked me over the weekend.  Yes, the cellulitis has returned, no, no hospitalization will be needed (thank you Dr. Nelson), just 10 days worth of antibiotics, and four days home from work.  Oh well, better now than during Peak (coming soon at FedEx!)

So, you won't be seeing much from me for a few days; however, I see below that brother Carroll is already picking up the slack.  Oprah uses NON-UNION writers?  As much money as she makes?  You DON'T go, girl....

Down WIth Oprah, Up With Ellen

Oprah's ratings are going to go up within the next few weeks. Why? Unlike almost every other talk show, her writers are non-union (in Chicago, no less) and she will still have new shows while her competitors are in re-run because they are respecting the Writers Guild Strike.
