Are you talking to me?

Are you f*&^ing talking to me?

An influential voice is developed in this city by hitting the pavement not just by blogging. You've got to go out there, meet people, go to events, visit neighborhoods, knock on doors and shake hands.

We The People who blog here work our asses off in our neighborhoods and in our communities as activists. We don't just sit all day chipping our fingernails from blogging and you know what, that's how I as publisher of this blog want it to be.

We actually do not fall into the demographics of national political bloggers --we are older, sometimes much older than most. We not only have day jobs but have families. And we still find the time to be politically active.

And I am going to one-up you with a very Republican-like FU because, you know what, I happen to homeschool my kids. A liberal, atheist, soccer homeschooling mom of two who works as a web consultant and blogs. Oh yeah ... and is a political activist.

There are blogs out there, huge ones, where people go because they are more like electronic water coolers. Ask people to do something, and that is a whole different story.

Here, we walk the walk.

So you know what, Mr. Elephant? I got your vaccum right here. Now come clean my apartment.

Wow

I am honored to have been quoted out of context! I sure hope that Republicans really do keep thinking NYC is out of their reach. But I also hope that Dems heed my warning that things are shifting if we don't watch out. I guess watching trends and looking ahead are ideas that Republicans don't understand. I hope progressives do.

And when they are done with your apartment, my apartment sure needs cleaning since I haven't had much time for such luxuries as cleaning up lately.

Please....

We all know that Rs have maids for such chores. I'd sooner expect Santa Claus to wield a mop on my behalf than one of those people; they'd probably just stare at you blankly and refer you to the appropriate member of their domestic staff.
