…blogging is a tad lighter than normal it’s because I’m busy making show arrangements, scheduling guests and selling ads so that is going to take the majority of my time since the show IS as of right now my source of income.
So expect more like 3-4 daily posts as opposed to 6-9 at least until things settle down.
And don’t forget starting November 20th Listen to DaTechGuy on DaRadio at 9 p.m. on WCRN 830 AM True talk. We’ve got some great bloggers lined up for you and I’m booking more as we speak and we WILL BE TAKING YOUR CALLS.
And if YOU have a business or a group or just someone with something to say here are the advertising rates: (more…)
The twin city tea party filled the large event room, there was food, drink and frolic as members celebrated for hours their efforts of Election Day.
A victory party seemed out of place. Just two days earlier Massachusetts democrats had swept every statewide office from Auditor to Governor losing only two Governor’s council races and a handful of State Legislative seats.
When you look at races like ny-23 that are turning on under 2000 votes, think how much it meant nationally for the country for Democrats to be pinned down defending ground they shouldn’t have had to.
With all the election Hoopla I had no time to replace the DaBlogs of the DaMonth, but since the feature started late in October I guess it’s OK.
So lets quickly say Thanks to our former blogs of the month: And so it goes in Shreveport , it was nice to have you over for a while and also to Rich’s Comic’s Blog and What If, who return to their normal spots on the blogroll.
And without further Ado here are this month’s blogs of the month. First of all Since Sarah Palin was one of the big winners of this weeks election what better blog to start with than Conservatives4Palin? This week they give yet another example of Palin doing the work the party doesn’t want to:
Governor Palin tweeted the following this afternoon:
Mama Grizzly Renee Ellmers needs our help securing an honest and fair recount. Please donate here: http://is.gd/gIZAv
Ellmers is in need of support as her opponent, Congressman Etheridge, is calling for a recount despite Ellmers’ 1600 vote lead. Ellmers’ campaign will need to hire lawyers to ensure that the recount process is performed with integrity.
A number of days ago, UNESCO classified the Jewish holy site Rachel’s Tomb as a mosque.
Israel has now reacted to this appalling decision by refusing to cooperate with them.
Israel on Wednesday said it would reduce cooperation with the United Nations’ cultural watchdog after the body classified Rachel’s Tomb in the West Bank as a mosque.
Considering Iran this will be a blog to keep an eye on for all of next year.
And finally our new kid on the blog, we presentShrinkwrappedA Psychoanalyst Attempts to Understand Our World. This week explaining liberalism in one sentence:
Just remember, Liberals, like adolescents, do not believe in ever slowing down their spending until they have their credit card taken away.
So you will be renting a room here for a month, how do you feel about that?
Make it a point to give our blogs of the month a visit during November, and if you have suggestions for December feel free to drop them in comments.
I’ve been to every precinct in the city so far and this is what I saw.
In ward 6 where two years ago I stood alone a group held signs for republican candidates
Republicans in 2010 Ward 6
The only candidate on the democratic side promoted was Tom Foley for Sheriff
The only democrat signs in 6
I have never in my life seen more people holding signs for a question than for a candidate
Anti Question 1-3 electioneering
I was so struck by that I interviewed a gentleman there
Foley has drawn a fair amount of support. I’ve met him personally and I’m not surprised by that.
The man on the right is a republican but he is for Foley
There was a group of FSU students interviewing people for a government project, I asked them why they didn’t cover the Gunn event at the college, none of them had been told even though every teacher got an e-mail about it.
Where were these college folks when Gunn was on Campus?
In Ward five the turnout was VERY high, particularly in 5a
Ward 5 very busy
I talked to David Roth who I knew from high school, he was a year ahead of me.
In Ward 4 it was the same story
Two Poll workers in Ward 4
Ward 2 also had a very steady stream, their totals were already over the primaries before noon
Posing at the machine in Ward 2a
In ward three there were two big surprises. My mother who works the polls told me it was very steady, in the second ward the numbers were already over 800 by 12:30 p.m.
Ward 3 the busiest ward in town
In both wards 6 and 3 there were Democratic poll watchers checking to see if they needed to get their people out if they hadn’t voted. Two people I met at the Mayday march were also in 6 and 3. We disagree but they are very nice and I’m always pleased to see them.
I ran into John Olver in Ward 3. I still think he is dead wrong but I’ve learned to respect him as a gentleman who has never treated me with anything but respect. He has run a clean and honorable campaign.

Ex Mayor Mylot was there as well, he was supporting the republican ticket. The men on the left holding signs for Lew held them for Bove in the primary at the same spot.

The Shock of the day came as Bill Gunn showed up at the same time and he and Congressman Olver posed for a picture together.
Bill Gunn (r) and congressman John Olver (D) civil and honorable opponents
This was the picture of the day, although I think it will be a close race both have run positive, clean and issue oriented campaigns, it’s been an example to the entire nation.
In ward one the trend of incredible numbers continued:
Ward one with a full house
And the electioneering continued, the most popular democrat in the area is clearly Foley
Signs for foley in ward 1
Republicans signs were in every place except for ward 4 downtown.

Bottom line all signs point toward huge turnout and if the Scott Brown trend of January is a barometer, then I’d be worried if I was the left
