Progress
Booman Tribune is a self-described “progressive community”, but for me it’s that blog I love to hate. I think the guy who runs it is, personally, a nice guy, but our views on the country and the Administration have gone in utterly different directions, to the point that I’ve tried to stop reading it [...]

I’m guest posting at Susie Madrak’s place this week. Drop on by!
Read More..>>Apology, and Owning It.
I unnecessarily dinged two friends in the post below, effectively casting blame on them for my own decision to vote for Mr. Obama. That’s not fair to them, and I’m sorry. It’s my vote, I cast it, and there’s no one to blame but myself for my own bit part in this sad little [...]

Please consider this notice that I’m looking for another domain provider. Bob Parsons is a scumbag of the highest order.
Idiotic mistake or brilliant publicity move? GoDaddy CEO Bob Parsons recently posted a video of himself killing an elephant in a sorghum field in Zimbabwe. Many were appalled. Others called it a P.R. disaster. Boycotts are [...]

To My Readers
When you find that blogging’s slowed down here, it’s often a good idea to drop by my facebook page (it’s easy to find me, there’s aren’t too many other people named Brendan Skwire) if we’re not already friends there. I’ve found that facebook can be really powerful when it comes to generating debates and [...]
Read More..>>Morsels and Seeds: New Blog!
My friend and former colleague Cymantia Tomlinson-Bey just joined Morsels and Seeds, a blog that deals with food, farming, culture, and justice.
Anyone who reads my blog on a regular basis knows I’m deeply interested, and concerned, about all of the above. What really impresses me about Morsels and Seeds is that it’s produced entirely [...]
PSA: How to Change Your Password
A reader writes:
i gotta say, Brendan, that logging onto this here “comments” is no stroll in the hay either. Just sayin’… the damn password you get assigned is like 8 miles long…
if your brendancalling password is too long, a series of random numbers and letters, and generally impossible to memorize, here’s what to do.

Big Post Coming Soon
Hey folks,
Just a quick note. As you know Sam’s been visiting, so blogging has been light. I have a pretty large, and probably inflamatory, post coming up about my run-in with the TSA at Philadelphia International Airport, and the thoroughly useless response from Senator Bob Casey’s office, which can be boiled down to “senators don’t [...]
