Inside Huckleberries

5:41 p.m. My day’s almost done, so I’ll let you in on a little secret. Tomorrow, I’ll celebrate the first anniversary of this blog. A year ago, I began No Holds Barred/Hot Potatoes/Huckleberries Online with fear and tremblin’. Sometimes, the only thing that kept me going was my commitment to last a year. This isn’t as easy as it looks. But I’m pleasantly surprised at what the blog has become, and what it has done to me. More about this tomorrow.

4:14 p.m. You can find a conservative’s take on movies at a relatively new blog site, named Veritas, here .

4:04 p.m. Jim Miller on Politics blog (a conservative from eastern Washington who appears on Stefan Sharkansky’s superb Sound Politics ) has added Huckleberries Online to his Northwest blogroll here . Cool. Also, he provides an interesting view of why the American media have ignored CNN exec Eason Jordan’s fall from grace here .

11:24 a.m. On her blog today, Michelle Malkin discusses a move by The Tulsa World to strong-arm Oklahoma blogger Michael Bates from using any of its material or linking to the paper’s site here . Which proves the World doesn’t know much about the “fair use” policy — and has very thin skin. If you’re a blogger, you might want to read the rules of copyright engagement from the Nerf-Coated World blog here . (Thanks — to Kristin Hoppe/Not So Fast for passing that along.)

10:46 a.m. Huckleberries hears that … Athol folks are up in arms about CDA Press columnist Marty Fortier’s cracks about their town here .
