I have joined Hyperlincoln
Hyperlincoln is a new blog dedicated to "hyperlinkin' the blognoscenti". I am proud to say that I have been invited to share the blogging responsibilities at Hyperlincoln with Harvard University honors graduate David K. Beckwith, internet pioneer and proprietor of Anonymoses on the web. Dave and I will begin by giving you the best of the Convention bloggers this coming week.
Internet muse.
Daring, bold, never sold.
My daily weblog of politics, humor, philosophy...and a constant and nagging reminder of the existence of universal love....

Linda Ronstadt Welcomes Diversity
Linda Ronstadt Welcomes Diversity
Class: These opinionated fans shown leaving a Ronstadt concert (early) understand it's a waste to throw their drinks when the wine is of good quality and the music has been sweet.

Love or hate her politics, fans of Linda Ronstadt are still willin' to shell out $99 to $249 each for tickets. They're well aware of the recent political controversy, but say they just want to enjoy the lady's songs. It's so easy to love her songs. In Vegas, she was treated shabbily by the Aladdin Hotel, but they have asked her to come back (with Michael Moore, as a matter of fact). Fans sit through her entire shows now, then make their symbolic "Yay" or "Boo" at the encore portion of the evening when Linda dedicates "Desperado" to Michael Moore. While the controversy becomes just another forum for Americans to gracefully express their opinions, Linda will be saying 'poor, poor pitiful me' all the way to the bank. More than being a political aggressor, she is a virtual welcome-mat to diverse opinion amongst her fans. When examining the value of that opportunity, I somehow find it to be incredibly and wonderfully American in its essence.

• Hyperlincoln is dedicated to the best in blogging at the 2004 Democratic Convention. David Beckwith (Anonymoses) and I will be keeping you abreast of the best of the Convention blogging information as it comes in.
• Note: The new Convention Bloggers Website is up and running. I noticed an entry there about the 20 disinvited bloggers, a list on which, unfortunately, I wound up.
• Photoblogging Election 2004 was launched to make it easier for convention bloggers to do some of the things that professional journalists' companies do for them: index and archive images and retrieve them quickly for publication. They say they have prepared links to every DNC Convention blogger they know of.
• Politics.Feedster is another Convention blog aggregating resource.
• Technorati has a new website dedicated to covering the bloggers in real-time at the Democratic Convention and the news they will generate. Titled "BlogWatch", it will include CNN.com’s up-to-the-moment review of numerous Web logs covering the convention marks a first for convention coverage using Technorati, the leading monitor of blogs. CNN offers its own convention blog on CNN.com with updates from Candy Crowley on the platform and from CNN anchors, analysts and correspondents, including James Carville and Tucker Carlson, both of Crossfire.
Technorati has a politics-devoted news aggregator for up-to-the-minute blog news.
• There is an open Yahoo Group set up for anyone interested in talking about the convention.
• Hardblogger MSNBC Hardball
• Speaking of convention....Jon Stewart, whose Daily Show will cover the convention in their own (shall we say 'unique and delightful') way, speaks of Conventional wisdom in a conventionally wise way here. And there's nothing funnier than Ed Helms' timid-while-in-your-face challenges of "You're a jerk!" or "Labia! Urethra! Penis, penis, penis... vagina?" to a Boston cop from the "designated free speech zone" in Boston! I keep playing and replaying the (linked) video (titled "Freedom of Opression") and rolling with laughter.
