Osama's Cheerleader

Rep. George Nethercutt (R) is running for Sen. Patty Murray's (D) seat here in Washington State. Anyone not familiar with Murray might be surprised by the contents of this advertisement now all over the airwaves in Seattle:




Sally + Napoleon = The Recycler

The Sally half of The Recycler really doesn't like Patty Murray. In fact, Sally was drawn in to blogging in the first place when she started a short-lived blog in 2003 to respond to the comments Murray made in the video featured above.

The Daily Recycler has been operating for a little over a month now. Since our second post on Aug. 28th, 2004 we've been averaging around 100,000 page views a week.

We're just now starting to do some back-end work to make the site more accommodating to such a large audience. Over the next few weeks we'll be putting together a new look for the site, and will change the way we embed videos on the blog so that it's not such a heavy load on the homepage. Also, we'll be adding a better comments section.

Thanks to everyone who has sent in email -- and to those bloggers that have put us on their blogrolls!
