Back in town, digging up a job

Well there's lots of stuff to say about this weekend's adventures at the DFL convention in Rochester (and some genuinely awesome pictures) but right now I am grabbing some lunch and then going to a promising job interview in Bloomington.

We had some service interruptions over the weekend as the PowWeb hosting company switched over their systems to a new, better arrangement that should offer better performance.

I cross-posted the latest about Yellowcake and PSY OPS to the DailyKos and the Agonist. On the Kos it gathered about 20 comments, mostly encouraging. The content of the post skated pretty near the 'tinfoil hattery' that Kos editors have tried to dampen. As Servantsavant said:

I'm not surprised that this great diary didn't get found and recommended with the openly stated policy from many of those in the dKos leadership that connect-the-dots diaries are not welcome at DailyKos. Anyone who even wanted to recommend probably thought better of it, lest they be banned by meta-cops for making meta-Jesus cry.

The best thing about the Vanity Fair article was that it was in Vanity Fair - probably the only MSM that would dare to touch the subject or connect the dots.

Can you imagine reading about this in the Washington Post or the NYT? Of course you can't and you know why. It can't be said here. .....

Third, every person who has done any work blogging the subject is written off and shouted down by the forum leadership of their potential audience. We're about winning elections and we don't want to be sounding like kooks if we're going to win elections.

So HongPong, I applaud your courage and I appreciate the important work you're doing connecting the dots.

That is quite encouraging. Perhaps more encouraging was the email I got from a twin cities TV host who happened to stumble across the entry..... More goodies later, but first I gotta deal with this Bank Account problem.
