    An all around sexy and mysterious beast who lives on a tiny island in tbe Caribbean called Borinquen by those who live here. It’s always summer to me.

    Have a great day. I am feeling virtuous because I finally finished my paper for the Society for Historical Archaeology next week.

    and everyone else passing through. This scene is about to play out in my living room. If you don’t see my around later, you will know what happened to me.

    Whether you are a neophyte or alumni…kick up your feet and make yourself at home.  /grin

    For those of you who are fresh to the scene (and for those of you who just need a refresher), please give the Insider’s Guide to Motley Moose a quick look.

    It is a brief overview of some of the ‘unwritten’ rules and traditions of the Moose.

    If you have any questions…just ask in any active diary (or use the ‘Contact The Moose’ link at the bottom of each page).

    No matter how long you have been with us… Welcome home!

    Are there any specific topics of interest that would be of interest we can write about?

    Environmental activism….local or global or how they mix?

    Local political issues that are activist based – like fighting GMOs in the US?

    Wildlife advocacy, in my case Wolves, and whether there is a good connection between world and US. Also consideration of the pluses and minuses of big organizations like WWF.

    I have avoided political blogging for a while now, but have been locally active forever. Willing to take ideas and put them out for discussion.

    Thanks to the beginnings of an annoying cold I’m laying very low today.

    Timothy Egan, writing in The NYT……

    In the season of starts and deep sleeps, the darkest, coldest time of the calendar, it’s always worthwhile to force a wish list of better tomorrows. So, to beginnings:

    ~snip~

    The press, which is all of us now, every blogger on a beach and tweeter at a traffic light, can pledge to stay inside the fact bubble. People who get their reality from Karl Rove at Fox or Rush Limbaugh on the radio woke up on the Election Day-after to the consequences of listening to political malpractice, live.

    It’s not just “the other side of the story” to say that global warming is a hoax or that Barack Obama is not an American citizen. It’s a serious injection of misinformation into a nation already woefully misinformed. And it’s a lapse for responsible journalists to air “both sides” without calling out the lie on one.

    reading many diaries except those of the frustrati.  Think this will be a more calming place than GOS.

    We may actually get some flakes to fall from the sky today, wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

    I can’t wait to see your MM vs GOS cliff’s notes Jan. No pressure though.

    “Chris Blask” though some places I go stealth as “chrisblask”.

    I live in East TN, vote with both hands but usually the left, got involved with Obama in 2007. After the primaries and MyDD () I agreed with others that it would be nice to be able to hold an actual conversation, there was some unlikely fornication, and we birthed a moose.

    I’ve lived in every geopolitical slice of America, crazyleft as well as redneck Canada, can extol the virtues or harangue the faults of all of them.

    Pure partisanship gives me hives, crowds of hypnotically nodding heads scare the crap out of me. I’m fairly certain I cannot definitively forecast the future and oh feel arguably safe if decisions are based more on information and discussion than belief.

    And, given that I am traveling southbound throu West Virginia and typing on an iPhone – which I deeply hate doing – it’s pretty clear I talk too much

    and I am just now checking in.  Status:  meh.  Still not feeling too swift.  I’m sick and tired of being, well, sick and tired.  Hence, meh.  Enjoying the pony party in the snow above.  ;->

    I’m Adept2u all over the internet and twitter, and that was me on DK anyhow how nice it is too see more people in the herd here.  It’s interesting I was kind of thinking of doing a little more blogging in the new year now that I don’t feel the pressure to get another vote, (gonna be one of the first) anyhow welcome to the Moose ya’ll she’s one of my favorite places on the web.

    He ran a very smart campaign, but it makes me nervous to think of the same techniques being used in the wrong hands.

    (Reuters) – As political experts assess Republican Mitt Romney’s failed U.S. presidential bid, an analysis of how his campaign and President Barack Obama’s winning team used cable TV to target ads at specific groups of voters may offer some valuable tips for the future.
