A little round-up (of news)

Remember that "flame war" I talked about last night? Here's a link...enjoy flamewar There is some disagreement about the role of the resolutions at the Annual Convention and it appears that the acrimony on both sides has grown. As of noon today (Friday) it looks like the "flames" have subsided and maybe the debate will end. The Chair of the Resolutions and Platform Committee says he has printed out the thread and will bring it to the Administrative Committee for review. I trust it is being done in good faith.

Also...apparently the REPUBLICAN who was running against Herb Kohl has decided that the Republican Party has gone astray....sooooooo....he has joined the LIBERTARIAN PARTY to run against Kohl. Read the story here

On the so-called Net Neutrality Law, Russ Feingold "gets it". Read that story here . Russ seems to understand that consolidation in the internet providers industry is very much like the consolidation that took place in radio, tv and cable after the Telecommunications Act of 1995. We're still suffering the effects of that bill.

With great relief, Al Labelle is going to resume duties as publicity chairman. I truly appreciate his energy and efforts in behalf of the Wood County Democrats. Thank Al. Al will probably hate the picture but it was the easiest picture of him to find.

I don't know anybody who has been able to establish such a good working relationship with our local newspaper as Al. I have attempted to "smooze" with these guys and have met with little, if any success.
