b!X gets some nice coverage for his Portland Commique over on the UK’s dotJournalism. We’ve all got our fingers crossed that he at least gets in the running for the Online Journalism awards. Because of the way the awards are set up, he’s competing against mainstream web sites.
But he’s good. And maybe it’s time for the good guys to win.

From here:
In a speech that roamed from the practicalities of health care to the vision of space exploration at the end of the universe, Mrs Heinz Kerry presented an image of a first lady who will not easily be pigeonholed, either as a liability or an adoring spouse
“My right to speak my mind, to have a voice, to be what some have called opinionated,” she told the delegates, “it is a right I deeply and profoundly cherish. And my only hope is that one day soon, women who have all earned their right to their opinions, instead of being called opinionated we will be called smart and well-informed, just like men.”
“”This evening, I want to acknowledge and honour the women of this world whose wise voices for much too long have been excluded and discounted,” she said. “It is time for the world to hear women’s voices in full and at last.”
(The quotes above from the speech by Teresa Heinz Kerry at the Democratic Convention.)
Now there’s a Major American Crone if there ever was one!!!
Vote for Teresa Heinz Kerry’s husband!
