Hello Everyone

Hi all!
I am a long time lurker since before Bush the pretender was selected. I have long just loved reading and absorbing the information given out here.

A friend in a local political group recently started a progressive blog here in Indy and solicited me to write for it. My first post came when that horrific 47% video came out. I was so angry that I pounded out a response in an hour flat that got posted. So I decided to go ahead and get a handle on here and go for it.

Be gentle with me. I come from the one of the reddest states in the Midwest that just elected the most scary Governor that we will come to regret.

I hope you have a thick skin. Sometimes the replies get so off-topic here that you might consider carrying a straight razor in your boot,
but for the most part its a great place to vent and rant.

I am just getting back to it here, myself. I used to be a "regular" here, but took a break. It's a great place.

I am also from Indiana, btw.
