PC Update 4/15/05

Hey Folks!

I'll get right to it, I've made some small adjustments to the site. I ditched the webrings in the footer and a few of the decorative buttons as I felt like they were just not pleasant to look at and they weren't exactly helping my build up traffic either. Instead, I've added a Newsmax.com store and Newsmax News link plus an Amazon tip button that says with wry humor, "Brother can you spare a dime". Give generously, I want to quit my job ; )

There's a new poll up. The results of the last poll had Condi slightly ahead of Hillary. I hope the race ends up being between the two of them instead of say Kerry again or Gore or a ham sandwich VS Frist, Jed Bush, McCain, Gingrich, a toaster oven or whatever. Two women would be infinitely more interesting than any of those folks. The new poll is on UN nominee John "Unipolar Moment" Bolton. Check it out, vote early and vote often.

I've also added a bunch of new links including but not limited to those I mentioned in a previous post. Some others are the New Oklahoma Democrat, Dav from Toirtap, The National Exam and Booker Rising. Jay from Stop the ACLU is even on the link list twice ::::shrugs::::

What I'm most proud to introduce is Mark Radulich's Book Reviews on Pop and Politics.com. I've been doing freelance book reviews for that site since December of '04 and I will be updating that section each time I post a new review with a link. Check out what I've been reading and if you have something you think I should take a look at I'm up for any suggestions. If you send me book you've written I'll be more than happy to review it.

I'm also excited to be a staff book reviewer for Mind and Media. This month (at some point) I'll be reviewing Total Truth and that will be posted right here on PC.BS.com. In the meantime, if you are interested in that book you can click the link to the top right.

Every weekend from Friday to Sunday night is Caregivercredit.org weekends. I post an article, usually sent to me by my friend Diane Pagen from said organization, every weekend as a means to contribute what I can to social activism. The latest installment of Caregivercredit.org is below this update.

Lastly, in addition to posting here, as you might have seen from the last few posts, I've also been contributing to the Blogger News Network (link has been added as well). It's a great site and a heck of an opporotunity. I'm pretty excited about it and the site is growing by leaps and bounds. We've even been picked up as a Google News site. Even better than us being picked up is the fact that BNN stories have started hitting the Google News front page. Hotsy totsy indeed.

Anyway, to those who have been coming back to my site without having to be dragged here by Blog Explosion, you have my gratitude. To those who comment here frequently, I appreciate the time and the exchanges.

I'll be back on Monday, have a good weekend!
