Friday Five: Legislative News You Can Use

August 10th, 2007 · 5 Comments

Something for the Fourth, This Week’s Friday Five, and Hiatus Notice

June 29th, 2007 · 1 Comment

For about 18 years, NPR’s Morning Edition has read every word of the Declaration of Independence on July 4.  It’s really something amazing. 
They are professionals and it comes out in this reading.  Their voice and treatment of the English language is a far cry from the screaming and sibilance that is found when people broadcast talk [...]

Update (August 23, 2007): The “Wordpress Blogger’s Blog” (Lorelle on Wordpress) gave a challenge this week to give the story as to where a blog came from it’s original start.  I guess I was 2 1/2 months early.
