Potential Democratic Candidate: "I am an Insurgent"

Right here in California. In an absolutely centrist and unbiased KPBS piece about a democractic convention here in San Diego.

Richardson: I am asking for your help. I am an insurgent. I am an underdog. And I need your help. And I can win California. I will not have all that money and all those advance people and all of that rock-star status. But I've got a heart.

Could it simply be poor word choice influenced by the constant media usage of the word? Sure... but only if the media depiction is one you associate with "underdogs" who deserve your help. This isn't even a freudian slip, where Richardson said one thing, but meant his mother.

The piece goes on to talk about how any number of young democrats could grow up to be president, like 19 year old Morgan Lucas, who, the article tells us, has been a committed democrat for 7 years. Yes, you read that right... since she was 12 she's been a self subscribed member of a political party. I only know one other political party with membership THAT young, and I think you know which one I'm talking about.

Gone, but Not Forgotten

I know I said I was going to post more frequently now that i'm settled down on the left coast. Well... I lied. Actually I've recently started blogging against late last week, only not here. You can see some of my latest stuff at http://www.VigilantFreedom.com/910blog, where I have been asked to hold down the blog fort. There are a number of great posters there, most if not all more talented than me, but if been instructed to provide some quantity. (I know that's a joke right? Well we shall see.) The primary focus of stuff there is Islamic Fascism and the spread of sharia, fitting with the CVF's mission. Fortunately its also my favorite topic at this blog. In any case we will likely see a dip in that sort of stuff here at DKRepublic as most of my anti-jihad thoughts go to the VF. But I hope to still provide some personal political reactions here, as well as stupid stories, and irritated media rants. So please stay tuned. I know I've said that before. But this time I mean it!

Where in the World?

So I've been missing, Absent Without Leave for what, more than a month? The question might have been raised, (unlikely, since no one who doesn't already know me reads this anyway),

Where'd you go?

Well I'm glad you asked. Firstly, I am no longer a news director at a northeast Georgia radio station. As of March 11th, I am unemployed. I left SKY 104.1 WRBN Clayton, in order to go west to the land of fruits and nuts. California. Specificly, San Diego.

Why'd you leave?

Really a number of different factors, which sort of came together into the perfect storm. For one, I was reaching my two year mark as a news director where additional experience as a news director, would only really be suited for continuing as a news director, which isn't really what I thought I wanted to do. With that, came my brother's station in San Diego, which enabled me to move, and pay Rabun County rent prices while looking to find a job.

Well now what?

Right now the plan is to find a job, preferably in Public Affairs or Public Relations. There seem to be a number of firms specializing in that kind of work here in San Diego, and the PRSA-San Diego Website has been a big help so far.

Enough about you. What about TheDKRepublic?

Well, part of the reason that I've been absent is I know longer was in position of an FTP file transfer program, which i need because for some reason blogger doesn't want to work right and publish directly to my website. So I used to do everything manually, via the transfer program. The good thing is that provides me with an offline back up. The bad news is, the only place I had one of those was at work, and after leaving work, I lost access to it. The good news, for you guys anyway, is that I bit the bullet, and paid the 30 bucks for the registration, so I know have the same capability here on my laptop. So that means new posts abound.

Okay. But you aren't gonna turn into some kind of Hippie out there on the Left-Coast right?

Absolutely not. In a way I'm excited about the opportunity to be here. Maybe I can bring you Leftist protest coverage, and other neat things like those real blogs. We'll see. At the very least, I'll move from backseat blogger, to side passenger blogger. So that's a step up.
