Well, here it is: catnip's blog.
Some of you may know me from Daily Kos, Booman Tribune or Progressive Bloggers where I stirred up some controversy but developed a following nonetheless. (I'm still not sure how, exactly.)
If you don't know me from Adam, you'll soon find out that I have very definite opinions about the current state of the right-wing takeover of North America. I'm concerned. You should be too. If you're not, you haven't been paying enough attention to how your rights have slowly and blatantly been eroded while you were busy watching Survivor(TM).
Serious, serious wrongs have been committed in the name of freedom and progress and the huddled masses who don't care enough to stop and think about what's been happening have been thoroughly complicit. Apathy kills. Are you enabling the powerful forces who have no disregard for your rights as a citizen? Or, are you actively pursuing truth and justice? Those are the questions only you can and must answer for yourself. I'm just here to help you do that.
I'm addicted to breaking news of note (no missing woman in Aruba stories here) and I hope to provide my American friends with a view of what's happening in Canada as well. We're not just snow and igloos up here. You think you have scandals?? Stay tuned.
So, jump right in and let me know what's on your mind. I have to work out my formatting so the place feels a bit more comfortable. Just consider this as moving day. A lot of my boxes still need to be unpacked.
Have at it!
I'll have to add in my profile that I named my blog "liberal catnip" (small letters, people) because I'm proud to be a liberal and because there's some conservative "catnip" person who I've seen posting on right-wing blogs that I sure don't want to be associated with.
ReplyDeleteThis is nerve-wracking!
Group hug!
Cheesecake Party! I'm so happy that you took the plunge. I've always enjoyed your ability to find news and provide great commentary. I'll be stopping by regularly, don't you worry about that! :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Catnip, applause, finally, well if you want to come to Village Blue and plug your new site, please feel free.
ReplyDeleteHi catnip! I've missed your writings. <Tag!> - You've just been bookmarked!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your support, ME. As soon as I figure out how to set up my blogroll, you'll be on it.
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime, it's -24C here in Calgary and this old body can't stand the cold, so I'm off to soak in a hot, hot bath.
mmmmm...cheesecake!
well, it ain't livebloggin' but it'll do.

Hey Catnip! I see you've landed on your feet, like all good kitties !
ReplyDelete--What Brinn said.. for me too !
Congrats catnip... Can't wait 'til you're unpacked and settled in. :)
ReplyDelete(PS. If you're going to keep using blogger comments, I'd recommend turning on the verification so that you don't get spammed.)
I'm so confused! lol
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing the place when you're all moved in!
ReplyDeleteherbal viagra? you get all the fun spammers! Mine consist of head-hunters who have tracked me down across the universe to notify that I have been pre-approved for a home mortgage.
ReplyDeleteHi Catnip -- you have been much missed so I'm glad you're back and now bookmarked! -- librarylil
ReplyDeleteHi Catnip!
ReplyDeleteI've read lots of your stuff at Daily Kos and love your style. You've probably never heard of me because I've been a terrible lurker- rare poster. Still, that's changing as I, too, have a new blog (doesn't everyone now?) and have to get my name out there. Unlike yours, my blog is an eclectic mess (as am I)- not really focused on politics, though I'll certainly comment in that direction often. I found you through My Left Wing where I've just started posting.
Please stop by New Worlds!
Wow! Thanks to all of you who have visited my very humble abode!
ReplyDeleteMonsieur Ductape: "some fluffy sort of substance"? You know me better than that! :)
kolors: Fiji? Fiji?? And you didn't invite me? I'm freezing my butt off here. It's currently -28C! I shouldn't complain though. We've actually had a decent winter (until today). Still...Fiji??
Max: thanks for coming out of lurkdom. :)
I feel like what's her name on Romper Room looking through her magic mirror. I see Anthony and NDDemocrat; librarylil and diane101...wow all of you...it's great to see you here.
Looks like I'd better find something of substance to post, "eh"?
Hey catnip, what do the asterisks on your blogroll mean? ;-)
ReplyDeletelol They mean that I stole the idea from you to show when blogs have been recently updated. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Boston Joe! Glad you stopped by. :)
ReplyDeleteHi there. All thebest with your blog. -- Jérôme à Paris
ReplyDeleteMerci, Jerome! :)
