L to R: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-NV chats with Bono of the rock band U2 and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-CA.
Good evening, everyone! It's almost five o'clock on Thursday, January 24th, 2007, and this is the first posting of The Blue Donkey Lounge. My name is Nathan Hack, and I've created this blog as part of an assignment for my Digital Media Class at Heartland Community College in Bloomington, Illinois. Why such a weird name for a weblog? I wanted to choose a name to reflect the political leanings of its creator (committed Democrat) and to call it a "lounge" to emphasize the relaxed nature of the kind of commentary that will appear here. I like healthy debate, but I will post no personal attacks!!!! I want this blog to pay particular attention to the upcoming presidential race, especially the Democratic side of things. I will also feature the occasional article or posting on Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich and Chicago Mayor Richard Daley's administrations for those who like things a little more local. Remember, you don't have to be a Democrat to enjoy reading about politics, and sometimes it can be fun to check out how the other side is doing! So, if you're a Republican, a Libertarian, a Green Party member, or even a Martian, read on and enjoy!!! My e-mail address is larrysboy2004@yahoo.com, but remember, if I post something you disagree with, no offense is intended. I'm just exercising my First Amendment rights, and trying to get an A at the same time! See CNN Article
