When I first heard that the Greens were having their national convention in Houston, I circled that on my calendar with definite plans to attend at least the weekend portion. Whether I went as purely a private person or a mix of private and professional I hadn't decided.
Unfortunately, a mix of being short-handed at work and a personal injury has nixed that.
But, you can read my blogging buddy and friend Brains, who is a Houstonian, and is doing social media work for the party at the convention.
Samples of his blog work from this week include:
1. Blue vs. Green with the "Oh the SCOTUS" fear-based rallying cry of Democrats;
2. The latest installation of his "scattershooting donkeys," for Democrats taking fear-based, generally uninformed, potshots at the Green Party and/or presidential nominee Jill Stein;
3. A brief piece on the Greens' upcoming CNN town hall;
4. And a first look in photos at what's happening at the convention.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.

Thanks man. It was invigorating and exhausting. My feet are sore, my back is sore, I have a blister the size a quarter on one heel, and I'm sorry it's over.
