The Bard is picking on me. TBOSA has written 4 verses commemorating my 60th birthday (Friday). All of ‘em make me sound old (but not quite ready for the boneyard). I plan to print at least one more out front Friday. Then, I might print all four of them out front. After all, it’s my blog and I’ll post them if I want to. (Almost sounds like a hit song coming on …)
@ Herb; I’m standing in the guard tower at the Aryan Nations complex taking notes during a tour of the complex with Tony Stewart. The complex was torn down a week later. One of these days, I’ll post my column from that tour.
There once was a blogmeister, Dave. To Hucksters he seemed like a slave. To blog it is said Really gets in your head But to critics he never would CAVE.
I took that photo of Oliveria on top of the old guard tower at the former Aryan Nations compound shortly before the machines dismantled all the buildings there, including the one with the swastika.
Jesse, you’re lying, I took that picture of Dave writing hate poetry on his back deck, overlooking his pit bull buster’s new dog house. I can prove it because that’s my cigarette behind his other ear!
D.F. Oliveria is a columnist and blogger for The Spokesman-Review. Huckleberries Online was judged the best 2008 Idaho newspaper blog by the Idaho Press Club. And the best 2007 news blog in the Pacific Northwest by the Society for Professional Journalist. Print Huckleberries is a past winner of the Herb Caen Memorial Column contest by the National Association of Newspaper Columnists. The Readership Institute of Northwestern University cited this blog as a good example of online community journalism.

@ The Bard; do you have something for a certain mayor of Coeur d’Alene who shares a birthday with me?

Um, DFO, is that your back yard where you are standing? If so, what’s up with the swastika?
