Who the heck is "Buckbeak"?

I think cgk was channeling Harry Potter when this was written. Buckbeak is a mythical creature in that series of books. BuckHEAD is a Freeper.

Did you check with Tom Wolfe before using his book title?

Because the MSM has labeled FR as a blog..

Who cares???

Because we try to be accurate and credible on this site and we do not want to be confused with the many blogs that have little or no credibility nor any concerns with accuracy.

we should try our darndest best to make California a red state so that by 2008, we got more electoral votes to start with.


Before we do this we need to shore up the electoral college, and develop and pass legislation that ensures one qualified citizen, one vote.

Cripes. I deserve another slap for that. I've read them and you just reminded me of that fact.

It's a good post. I liked it! Keep up the work...we could use some fresh leadership on "the boards" around here, IMHO.

You don't really expect the MSM to make this kind of distinction, do you? I get your point but the MSM is savagely attacking all Internet news sources they don't control. It's a turf war.

As the GOP proved nationally, it will require planning and discipline. Let's "begin with the end in mind" (a GOP majority in Sacto in 2004) and work back from there.

We may want to start a new thread on this since we seem to be somewhat OT already.

The bulkhead is the wall, the overhead is the ceiling and your boondockers are firmly anchored on the deck.

The only leader over here is 2... she leads me to the kitchen, to the yard, to her bookshelves, to the movie shelf, to the toyboxes, to the bathroom ... ;).

Just the way I like it.

Which is why we cannot let them define us as bloggers. We need to be clear and to communicate who we are and what we stand for.

Just like conservatives have done for the past 50 years, we need to educate the masses about our motives, goals and standards.

Boy, that brings back some memories.

(But they didn't call them "boondockers" in my day. Caesar's Tenth Legion wore only sandals) ;)

Buckhead (and the blogosphere) had a effect on SeeBS News rather similar to Buckbeak's on Draco Malfoy: arrogance resulting in a good thrashing.

I get your point, too (following along)...

I can always just be happy we're being "misunderestimated" while we continue to actively pursue our own Mandate.
