Weekend Wild Card — 2.20.10

So what did you think of the new -- for lack of a better name at the moment -- Political Wild Card? I noticed it attracted 56 comments while the regular Wild Card had only 14 or so. But it did work to keep generic political talk from taking over the various threads throughout the day. I was a little skeptical. But I sorta liked it. Feel free to weigh in now about the new feature -- or in the days to come. We had another terrific Blogfest Saturday, with Steve & Marie Widmyer hosting us in style at their Fort Ground Grill. I didn't get a head count. But I'd figure 55 - 65 people wandered in at some time during the day. I got to put faces to three pseudonyms -- Clean Water, jt, and Meme13. I'll wait until Monday to run the photos of Digger presenting MikeK one of his "I (Heart) Mike Kennedy" T-shirts to make sure our blurking fans at OpenCHRG.com gasp together. Until then, I'llre- post this Wild Card for your entertainment ...
