All articles filed in Ten for Thursday

So yeah, I need to take a break from the Keith Olbermann for President campaign (our campaign motto is “Vote for Keith and say ‘Bye, Felicia!’ to the other candidates”).  I must take a break – and take care of something more important. And that, of course, being Thursday, is to share some of the…

You know, the Times Union is running their annual “Best of the Capital Region” survey, in which you can vote for Olive Garden as “Best Italian Restaurant,” Subway as “Best Local Sandwich Shop,” and that woman from the Olde Wicker Mill commercials as “Best Local Personality.” Okay, all kidding aside… One of the categories in…

So today is a very special day.  It’s a day for wearing green. Okay, this means that if I can use my woods and irons judiciously, and with a little practice… one quick trip to Augusta, a lucky ricochet bounce off the Eisenhower Tree, and Tiger Woods puts that green jacket on my shoulders… Yeah,…

All right, all right, this week I have to retain self control. If I say “ten for Thursday,” it has to be ten.  Ten of the Times Union’s best community and independent bloggers.  Ten blogs by people who write for the love of their opinion and the desire to share their thoughts. I gotta stop…

This week, I’ve been enjoying the TU’s community blogging team as they’ve covered a myriad of topics, with blog posts ranging from erudite to humorous, from cynical to sincere.  These bloggers deserve your attention, their observations are intelligent and thought-provoking and well worth your time.

So let’s see… we’ve had rain in February, a heat wave in January, I almost expect to see a snowstorm during TulipFest and a monsoon on the Fourth of July.  This wacky Capital District weather… Well, if that’s the case, at least I can curl up and read the best writing that the Times Union’s…

Hi there.  How’s your morning going? Hope you have some time this fine day. Because once again, I couldn’t limit the TU community and independent blog recap to ten posts.  Sorry.  Hope you understand.  There’s just too much good stuff on the TU blog portal, as composed by the independent non-staff TU bloggers. Seriously.  No…

It’s morning in America.  Rise and shine.  Or as some of my friends say, rise and grind.  Time to get that morning cup of coffee, maybe a bowl of cereal or an eggo-muffin, and sit down and enjoy today’s collection of the Times Union’s best community bloggers and their best blog posts. And they include…

While the Times Union feels compelled to promote their staff blogs as if they were the second coming of Star Wars movies, I prefer to step aside one day each week and showcase my fellow Times Union community and staff bloggers.  They’re the ones that write excellent, forward-thinking articles, and who deserve to get the…

So here we are, you and me, on a Thursday morning, with another round of the Times Union’s community blog recap and review.  There’s some really excellent posts this week, as well as a newcomer or two to the list. Let’s get started.  You’ve got a lot of reading this week.  And be prepared for…
