Revelation

I sure am busy. When I explain that I have three jobs and still count myself among the unemployed, is that a reflection on the lousy economy? Or the overachiever in me looking for a little more action? Don't answer that.

The big news is that one of my good friends from college, Lisa Kelly, is running for Lieutenant Governor of Indiana! And she asked me to help manage her campaign. Of course, I accepted. She's just kicking off her campaign with Andy Horning, and I've been working on her news releases. So far, the stories are being picked up here in Indianapolis and on political blogs. You can take a look at the coverage, here, here, here, and here. It's a nice start for a third-party candidate.

Since I started blogging, I've worked very hard to keep Two Write Hands apolitical. Through November, that may change slightly. However, I have no intention of turning this into a purely political blog.

So you're not up the spout then?

What a great opportunity! I hope you have fun.

[Franklin]

I'm sure it is an excellent opportunity for you. Always nice to make friends in school :)

Let the mud slinging begin! ha ha

I look forward to hearing the behind the scenes stuff.

Isn't it great that Lisa has such a brilliant, nerdy friend that she can count on to do such important work! (There's a compliment in there somewhere, I think.)

Hey, I'll give you a link to one of my favorite lesbian Libertarians. Come to think of it, she's probably the ONLY lesbian Libertarian that I know. Yeah, for sure. You'll get a kick out of Becky, and maybe you should let her know about Lisa.

Well, good for you:) Lisa Kelly is a libertarian...excellent! We need more libertarians running for public office.

Congrats! What a great opportunity that you are so well suited for!

Andy Horning is spot on regarding the trampling of our rights and the need to follow our Constitutions. I read through most of his platform and agree with everything (except the prisons part; I'm a 'lock them up and throw away the key' type) he says about the enumerated powers of the government. Liberty and justice for all... What a concept!

What a wonderful opportunity for you. I hope it all goes very well. I'm sure you'll do a great job.

Good luck with the campaign. It will be quite the experience.

keeping the blog apolitical...ooh, boy, can I relate to that struggle--it'd just be so easy to go on an angry rant every morning after reading the headlines (in fact could read the headlines while I brew the coffee, then write the rant while drinking it). Then, I don't have any friends running for political office. Sounds great for you, though...

[Jeff]

Emily and Bob Barr. . . whoduhthunkit? lol

[Scot]

Thanks for making sure you don't go fully political. I boycotted one blog until after the democrats were done slugging it out...

[ourcrookedtree]

I have something for you. Come and get your love at my place...

[Becky Y]

Where ARE you? Just checking in. LOL
