Official Language

March 31, 2007Burt Likko 1 Comment

March 29, 2007Burt Likko

A few minor changes in the blog, mostly a subtle color scheme change, a new graphic, and updated links to other pages. Most importantly, the links now include my father’s new blog. Check it out — my folks just got… Continue Reading →

Going to the Oval Office

March 28, 2007Burt Likko 1 Comment

It’s official; I’m now a blogger on Oval Office 2008. It should be fun co-blogging with a bunch of other political junkies, especially ones of a variety of political persuasions and backgrounds. The blogmaster is British, which gives him an… Continue Reading →
