Powder Tracks and Fever is Blog of the Week!

Its a WIN for Powder Tracks & Fever! The stylish Crosley Solo Retro-Modern Radio is on its way per Duane Patternson, the Producer of The Hugh Hewitt Show, see comments at Radioblogger. Well, what an interesting week we've had here at the Powder Tracks and Fever home... No Powder Tracks as there is no Snow and I was sitting at the computer pounding away at my keyboard. The only Tracks made were blood tinged from typing away, sending messages into cyberspace. The only Fever was that of campaigning for the Blog of the week contest! My blistered fingertips kept me from writing my Thank You notes to all of you. I wish I would have had the tactical thinking of the Biblical Christianity, who got third, by going onto Free Republic, a website in which political topics are discussed and is famous for breaking the fake TANG( Texas Air National Guard) regarding President Bushes service which were written on Microsoft Word. The "Freepers" as they are known brought down the proverbial deluge of the Bloggers and "New Media" on Dan Rather & CBS, which ultimately sent Dan "Courage" Rather packing back to his Travis County Ranch and Sam Houston College(his Alma Mater)! Biblical Christianity, took it to his base by going into a chat room at Freepers (see link)and within a few minutes of campaigning he zoomed into 1st place. What a smart guy, Oh that I had been so clever! I agree with Duane of Radioblogger that this was Resourceful!

I would also like to Thank all my fellow members of the Southern California Bloggers Alliance who supported my winning the Blog of the Week contest! Impressive show for the SCBA Alliance with 2 finalist this time and 1 previous winners!

However a special thanks go out to the people and readers who put me in the winners circle by "Moon River's ...Wider than a Mile!" My worldwide network of readers, friends and family was really impressive! I honestly think that the Hugh Hewitt Show and Radioblogger are trying to give us a Civics Lesson on Democracy and how running for Public Office is one of its fundamental tenets. From the rule of the Blog of the Week rules on Radioblogger

7. Each Friday, the top five entries, as judged by Hugh, Adam Youngman and I, will be selected, and a poll will go up on Radioblogger.com.
8. Voting for the winner is up to you. Voting will close at Noon Pacific on Monday.

You see, in a Democracy you take your ideas to the the citizenry and campaign or essentially market the ideas and then toss them into the arena which the electoral process. You then let the people VOTE! Legislating from the Bench like has been happening from the the Judiciary( are Third Branch of Government) beginning with the Earl Warren Court of the 1960's and crescendoing with the Warren Earl Burger court of the 70's and 80's. This is an abuse of the Democratic system and an abomination of our Democracy. President Thomas Jefferson worried about this in the early history of our Country and in fact in "1802, his allies in Congress reined in federal courts that seemed to overrule the will of the people"

So to all my readers you are avid citizens of cyberspace and the Blogosphere I want to say Danke, Obrigado, Grazie, Salamat, G'day, Merci, Gracias and a very heart felt Thank You!
