Carnival of the Liberals is turning One next week. TNG of Neural Gourmet will be hosting the Big Anniversary Edition on December 6th and he has asked people to submit their best post (of course!) - but not the best post of the week: the best post of the year! However, that post cannot be one that…

Four Stone Hearth Co-Admin

As you may have noticed, founding father Kambiz has been very busy lately, and his brainchild the Four Stone Hearth blog carnival has not quite received the attention it needs. Now, I'm not as good as Kambiz at web design, but I'm OK at long-running repetitive administrative tasks. So I've joined…
