About

UPDATE June 14, 2008
What a difference a few weeks make! I’ve been so busy blogging about politics that I haven’t had a chance to really get into doing the Watches regularly or really put together my international media and broadcasting pages. The info for the international media links is actually loaded into the site, but I haven’t had a chance to check all the links (and there are MANY!) and organized them for easy use.
So my apologies to anybody wanting that sort of information. I promise…someday, hopefully, soon they WILL be finished…perhaps when I get totally sick and tired of this miserable political season for once and for all…
*****
This site will be evolving as I transfer material from my old site to this one! I will also be creating new versions of the World Media Watch and World Energy Watch. I will also do some political blogging as I get the urge to do so! Much of the older material will be archives of commentaries I wrote for Buzzflash before that site changed its orientation during the Democratic primary season. These older commentaries reflect the time when progressives were united against the Bush Administration instead of being in the present state of chaos … This will all take place gradually as I find the time in between taking care of my 3 dogs, doing my gardening, and practicing my Tai Chi Chih!

You’ll probably be hearing more about these interests as I go along…and, of course, I’ll want to hear about your dogs, gardens, and various practices like Qigong and the various meditative practices as well!

Til Later,

GRL

    Gloria,
    I used to read you all the time on b*******h. It used to be my homepage, but not any longer. I cannot even look at the front page any more. They have written me that they believe they are neutral. If they saw it through my eyes, they wouldn’t be able to read themselves either. I am excited to find you (through the Confluence).I do hope your breathing is easier in the SW.
    I’ll be visiting here as often as I can.
    Be well.

    Thanks, Leslie!! Will be getting our floors cleaned and sealed, so It’s going to be difficult to post the next couple of days, although I have a couple of things in the works…

    It’s sad about B…H….They are nice people, but I really didn’t want to be part of the hysteria….

    I think you are my spiritual twin~ yours is the only website I have found that presents the political factual truth on the ground in the context of Presidential ‘08.

    I am truly delighted and awed to find so quickly the background about Nunn and Boren and what there endorsement of Obama really convey….so many are ‘blinded by the truth’ they won’t even try to approach this primary objectively.

    I supported passionately John Edwards for President and have the same wish as you do~ out of this nomination mess, John Edwards would become our nominee…..but he isn’t so I will vote for Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton on this Tuesday, April 22, 2008. I changed my voter registration from Independent to Democrat just to do so.

    I believe Hillary is a great leader and would truly be an excellent President, but for the baggage of the Clinton Administration…and lot’s of it…and the failure to understand the power of the Obama candidacy and a strategy to nail his operation…it has proven unfortunately difficult to overtake him.

    And it will be a unity government, the elite against the working class…will this make it even more difficult for the people of this country to stop them once Obama et al are in power (if they win)?

    I will vote for anyone but Obama…..enjoy your dogs, garden, and tranquility…

    Oops–just looked at the photo again. Organ mountains, no? Either way, I miss New Mexico.

    Hello GRL, I just found you through your comment on noquarter, came over here, and I’m already a fan. I’m a new blogger, who’s been writing up a storm for Hillary, as my contribution to do as much as I can to help her. I’m adding you to my blogroll, and hope you’ll stop over and add me if you like mine. I look forward to talking chi gung, the meditative and healing arts, and gardening sometime in the not too distant future. Thanks!

    Hello Gloria,

    My name is Alexandra Di Trolio and I was looking to contact you about being a guest for a radio show. My apologies for leaving this message in your comments but I was unable to locate an email address. I work for a show called “The Blog Bunker” on Indie Talk channel 110 on Sirius Satellite Radio. It is a political talk channel, not party affiliated, that is described as “political talk for people who hate politics”. The show “The Blog Bunker” is a casual political talk show and many of our stories and information come from blogs across the country. We are based in the New York area and would welcome the opportunity to do an in studio interview or a phone interview if one in studio is not possible. Thanks Gloria and I look forward to hearing from you.

    Hello, I just stumbled on your site. Can’t remember how. I am in Santa Fe and have been blogging here since November. Before that I blogged for two years in New York. I am a reluctant Obama supporter because I want the Democrats to win. Perhaps we can link? Let me know.

    Hi GRL,
    Interesting interests!. I do try meditiation using Yoga. Are you aware of that?

    I found you from another website, and I made a youtube video about Obama’s FISA vote that no one in the media seems to be talking about. I was wondering if you would possibly share this with your blog readers. Thanks!

    Kendall, I’ve cross posted this at The Confluence which should give it lots of eyeballs!!
    It’s in the thread of the July 12 post entitled “Obmaphiles: You’ve Been Had”

    Thanks for visiting!

    GRL,
    There is no means to comment on your recent Obama letter. So, I suggest that you take the return envelop, and after scrawling FISA across the “contribution” form, drop it in the mail. I’ve been doing this of late, and by brother - a FORMER Obamatron - is going to do the same from now on.

  15. GRL, on July 16th, 2008 at 7:49 am Said:

    Sorry, I forgot to tick the box! Thanks for reminding me!

    I’ve already sent the letter from Obama back to sender with appropriate comments!!! LOL!!
