You might remember Annie DiMartino from the Scott Brown Election, I have a new interview with her at Examiner.com that I encourage you to take a peek at and not just because of the 3/4 of a cent I’ll make a hit: A quick peek:

In the mid 60’s a young girl came to the United States with $17 dollars and a borrowed suitcase to work as a nanny. Today (June 5th) Annie DiMartino will attend the Democratic State Convention in Worcester as she has for decades.

Although we disagree on a few issues (at times I was the only republican in her diner) if more democrats were like Annie DiMartino both the democratic party and America would be better off.

Juan of the Tea Party joins the Axis of Fedora

My latest Examiner Article Looking for a cup of Peach Tea is about my unsuccessful attempts to get a handle on the tea party movement in Georgia while I was there.

On the Plus side however Juan Did join the Axis of Fedora!

If you are not familiar with my examiner articles (and if you are one of my new Georgia readers you likely aren’t) the old articles are available here.

Remember the only money I make off of any of this other than direct reader support (thanks) is the nearly penny a hit I get on the Examiner articles, so if you are in a position to check them out please do so. To give you some perspective the 27,000+ hits already generated this year (thank you to all who have read btw) is not enough to cover the plane ticket to Georgia and back

Latest Examiner Article: A Tea Party Candidate before Tea Parties were cool. (Marty Lamb)

My latest examiner article is about Congressional Candidate Marty Lamb running in the 3rd Massachusetts district. A Tea Party Candidate before Tea Parties were cool a snipit:

Lamb not only attended the April 14th Tax day tea party & CPAC but he attended Last year’s April 15th tea party and made the first announcement of his candidacy there at Boston Harbor.

This was during the early days of the tea party, the media was still trying to define them as a group of fringe people and the idea of unseating a Massachusetts democrat in congress was as far fetched as the idea of a republican taking over the senate seat held by Ted Kennedy.

As always you can find my other Examiner Articles here.

I know you were probably expecting another Georgia post, but I have files still uploading and laundry that has to do so I’ve been kinda slow this morning.

Oh and to the best of my knowledge the media STILL has not reported on this relative of Holocaust survivors being called a Nazi in Worcester. If I’m wrong feel free to correct me.
