DNC Stuff Open Thread- (Found September 17, 2008 ) I give up! Just for today. Between packing for the big move, taking care of clients who pay the bills, and doing miscellaneous other things to retain a sense of normalcy in the middle of a life-altering event, I can't settle on a post idea. So I give up, sort ...http://lashawnbarber.com/archives/2008/08/27/dnc-stuff-open-thread/ Here Comes the Sun- (Found September 17, 2008 ) I won't be watching Barack Obama's speech tonight (no TV and wouldn't watch it if I had one), but I may watch a video clip and blog or write an op-ed about it next week.

The next ...http://lashawnbarber.com/archives/2008/08/28/here-comes-the-sun/ Sarah Palin: Why- (Found September 17, 2008 ) Update (7 p.m.): Well said, Dr. Laura. --------------------------------------------- I'll go against the conservative blogosphere grain and state my confusion over and disappointment in John McCain's choice of running mate. I think Sarah Palin, a relatively unknown female governor from Alaska, is a bad choice. I came to this conclusion before I ...http://lashawnbarber.com/archives/2008/09/02/sarah-palin-why/ RIAA Sort of Prevails Against Jeffrey Howell- (Found September 17, 2008 ) sarcasm Let's see how many comments this controversial post generates. So exciting. :) sarcasm After burning out on he-said-she-said politics last year, I started blogging about digital technology, digital music technology, to be exact. I'm not a music or tech blogger, but it was an oddly satisfying distraction. A reporter quoted from ...http://lashawnbarber.com/archives/2008/09/02/riaa-sort-of-prevails-against-jeffrey-howell/ Americans Doing Jobs Illegal Aliens CANT Do- (Found September 17, 2008 ) It warmed by heart to read about the federal government doing the job it's charged with: executing immigration laws. Heartwarming is a strange way to describe it, but there you go. You probably remember reading about a raid at Howard Industries, a transformer plant in Laurel, Mississippi, last week. Close to ...http://lashawnbarber.com/archives/2008/09/03/americans-doing-jobs-illegal-aliens-cant-do/ Reasons- (Found September 17, 2008 ) 98: Your kind words mean a lot to me.

John McCain's up; Barack Obama's down. I rarely blog about polls, because I have no confidence in them.
