Wikipedia Entry for OlyBlog

This really is an innovative approach to local politics and local communication.___I think it's interesting because everyone has a care and love for Olympia, just vastly differently ways of how Olympia could become better. Normally it's never really hashed out and each side slams each other to their own (e.g. We complain to our friends, "Man, those idiots/bigots/fill in name!" without really knowing what the other side is thinking.).

We will sound more intelligen

We will sound more intelligent also, we can use the actual words the other side uses. :) Maybe sometimes we can make undercover visits to where the other side hangs out and then bring back new intel when we are ready to preach to our respective choirs again.
