Surfing The Weekend Blogs

Information the MSM (main stream media) often ignores, or elects not to report, often is found in the thousands of blogs that now populate the Internet. Special interest blogs abound and offer details on specific issues not found elsewhere.

Among the best of those special interest blogs is Gun Law News, a daily recitation of all things 2nd Amendment. I can't imagine how much time these folks devote to gathering all the information they do, but it is there, regular as clockwork.

Locally, there's Mark Shannon and Ron Black, who always have weekend posts to contemplate, unlike many blogs that tend to take weekends off. (Black adds he always posts on weekends unless he's in a "tree stand somewhere." For any liberal reading this, that is code for hunting.) As you've noticed, The McCarville Report Online tries to keep up 24/7, understanding as we do that readers log on every day of the week and expect to find new material when they do. Granted, our weekend posts are fewer in number, often more gab than news and more laid-back than frenetic.

We spend a lot of time monitoring other blogs, and try to confine our "Links" listings on the right side of this page to those (national and local) that offer insight, opinion and information likely not found elsewhere and we list liberal blogs as well as conservative ones.

Some of those we list offer personal insight on the day's large issues. Kevin Calvey's blog from Iraq is an example, as the former Oklahoma House member shares his thoughts on what's going on from his tent in Baghdad.
