8. Alas, I don't know much about Chet Edwards
But I do know that he beat Tom DeLay's re-re-districting ploy to oust him from Congress, so I am a big fan as well.

4. Art, illustration and politics
One of the few sites you'll find online which feature political cartoons, childrens' book drawings and a naked Elvis, all in one!

NotBannedYet.US

(all the links are in my sig line too...if they're not active, click the RMcG Creative tab when you visit. Not that you'd do that just to see a naked Elvis or anything.)

20. I liked your piece on military & education!
And it's cheaper than therapy! This is exactly how Nightweed's political blogs and rants got started - so we wouldn't go crazy in this Orwellian world....

12. For those who don't have a blog, but are interested...
Click here===> http://www.blogger.com/start

It's free, and they seem to be nice people to deal with (the company was recently bought by Google, if that means anything to you one way or the other).

Me, as soon as I learn to speak in anything but smarmy smart-assed one-liners, will probably crank one up. (Or should that be "I"?)

18. I recommend also the free (and French) BlogSpirit.com
I find Blogger.com to be slow and overloaded at times.

When I went around comparing free blog services (and I didn't want to go through a learning curve with installing, say, WordPress), I found BlogSpirit.com to have the most features I wanted. And they seem to be running on some fast servers!

They're less than a year old, I think, and French. I once wrote to them with some compliments and to inform them of some minor glitches and the president himself answered, which was quite a nice surprise!

Otherwise, if I wanted to spend a few bucks a month, I like TypePad.

13. The General Conversation
http://www.thegeneralconversation.com/board/

It has always been something of a refugee camp and a backup place to meet when the various campaigns collapsed or when people needed a place to meet as a small group or in a closed forum. Over the months small groups of Clark, Dean, Kucinich, Nader, and Green supporters, DU and DFA refugees have drifted in and out.

It started as a small group of beleaguered Clark supporters who objected to the DLC pros who ran Clark's campaign and the direction they took it.

15. We have a few
Our rock band Nightweed has a website and we use it for our political and social rants.

Nightweed's favorite Anti-Bush links (which is a mess now)
http://nightweed.com/antibush.html

Ricks' Rants
http://nightweed.com/ricksrants.html

Rick's blog brainwashed:
http://brainwashed.blogspirit.com

The Angry Girl Page (should be updated tonight, unless I continue procrastinating here...)
http://nightweed.com/angrygirl.html

Angry Girl Cartoons
http://nightweed.com/angrygirlcartoons.html

and Angry Girl's blog (also to be updated tonight... maybe tomorrow)
http://angrygirl.blogspirit.com

Btw, http://www.BlogSpirit.com is the best FREE blog service we could find. Has the most features, we think. Also, it's a fairly new French company!

Otherwise, I have TypePad envy....

And remember to always use your powers for Good, not Evil.... Let's get our country back!

Hahaha!!!

Animal Mother was more of an immigrant from Angry Finger. Though I think that he's registered on upsizethis under a different nick but I can't remember which.

21. A Scottish site
After returning from biking the Highlands, including a tribal gathering, I slapped together a wee satiric clan site, ripping the eejits who consider themselves royalty. It grew new pages with creativity, mischief, and anything else that came to mind.

(pronounced "shimmy", rhyming with Jimmy, but not with Timmy)

I planned to tell the whole life of * using action figures, but my disability kept me from finishing it before the election.

Sadly, I will continue the site now that I have 4 more lousy years to work on it.

So it's still very much under construction:

33. I started my blog after the election
I was so mad after the election and I had nowhere to vent. I was not a member of DU even though I had been lurking for a while before. But when I tried to get on after the election to become a member, there was no access. Same with the Moveon.org forums.

I knew then the election had been stolen, but I had no where to write my feelings down, so I had no choice but to start a blog.
