Monday Blogburst

April 04, 2005

My friend and Sound Politics colleague Ron Hebron has had a personal Web site for a while. But he's started a blog called Economic Freedom And Growth. Ron's an accomplished and interesting guy. Here's his Blogger profile; a recent post at his blog on the book, "Chasing Lewis And Clark Across America"; and a Sound Politics post of his, on drilling the ANWR which drew many, many comments.

Media reports and Democratic crowing about weak support for social security reform are a fraud. Patrick Ruffini explains. Via Glenn at the scintillating blog, What Attitude Problem?

Ed Koch for First Jewish Pope. Bill Karl has the exegesis.

Damn. The sexy librarian lost her lawsuit against Harvard. Dustbury with more.

My good friend, computer geek, business partner and blogger Jeff Brazill writes about "When Political Stereotypes Fail," at Au Fait, which he says will soon be re-named Ponytailed Conservative. Glad to have had a small part in that dialogue, Jeff.

MY KIND OF CONSERVATIVE. Rudolph Carrera is 34, currently lives in SoCal, and describes himself as a Galego-Prussian, Eastern Orthodox Christian pro-wrestling fan, ESL and music teacher, and music industry honcho, albeit on a modest scale, who has lived in Skopje, Macedonia, and may be headed back overseas again. He says he's going to be starting a non-profit to promote Eastern European music, arts and culture. Bravo, dude, and best of luck. His blog is called Carreterus Linnaeas. He's a big fan of Mark Steyn, as you'll see here and here; and is appalled by some of what's been happening in Timor. Rudolph also believes The Resurrection really did happen. As indicated in his Blogger profile, Rudolph also has decidedly non-conservative taste in music, including art-damaged musicians Harth & Goebells (an old favorite of mine from the early 80s at the Brandeis U. radio station), plus new-wavers Joy Division and naz-tee proto-techno skronkmeisters, Throbbing Gristle. Keep tracka this guy.

Matt,

Thanks for the mention and links. I hadn't decided on a name for the blog. But economic freedom and growth are my top interests, so...

Thanks for the links! Was really disappointed to hear that the Harvard librarian lost her lawsuit, though... I followed the link when you first posted it, and she really is quite a looker! I doubt Harvard's defense council attempted any kind of, "Look at her, your Honor, she's not sexy" defense.

Matt;

Man, I have to tell you I'm absolutely honored to be written up on your excellent blog. I've been quiet the last few days due to a move to Rancho Cucamonga (1 hour east of Los Angeles). I plan to be bombarding blog entries soon. Not too many fans of Harth & Goebbels out there, so that was a nice touch (btw, Alfred has a blog too, and I'll look for the link - he is apparently living in South Korea, and I don't know if he's active in music these days). Again, a thousand thanks for the writeup.

Hello Matt;

Please update your link list, as I've now changed over to my own domain. Continued good wishes to your site.
