Happy Birthday Dear Easter Lemming

This blog is now 1 year old.

The longest time without postings has been one week.

That took place last week and it came back with a finally updated blogroll although I am sure I missed some sites.

This has been a labor of love as I educated myself about politics, religion and some of the lying liars in Washington.

All the news in digest form an American independent "liberal" would want.

At a couple of months before the one year mark I realized the only way to change the direction this country was going was to get very active in politics.

The way the political system is set up in the United States you have to get active in one of the two major parties. I prefer lots of parties and lots of opinions in my political mix but in over 95% of the United States you must join one of the two major parties to be effective. With the political gerrymandering of the last 25 years, in local politics you often have only one choice. For me the choice was easy.

I have always voted mostly Democratic although since my first ballot I have voted for at least eight different registered parties. Hmm. At least eight different parties, if you know anything about American politics you realize that is a description of the Democratic party anyway.

Anyway, welcome to the bit more partisan one-year-old Easter Lemming Liberal News Digest. I will be digesting less, the 20 - 40 a day was getting a bit much, but I intend for this to be around for twenty more years.

Edited - can't even spell birthday right. Another characteristic of this digest.
