A Local Focus

By Justin Katz | March 2, 2010 |

In addition to my regular schedule on Anchor Rising, I’ll be putting a daily post up on the Web site of Tiverton Citizens for Change, focusing on content related to the town, specifically. My intention is not only to have an effect politically, but also to experiment with a new model that we’ve been discussing…

Anchoring the Violent Roundtable

By Justin Katz | January 28, 2010 |

Whatever you’re doing, tomorrow night, be sure to tune in to 630AM/99.7FM WPRO from 8:00 to 9:00 p.m. Marc, Monique, and I will be storming the WPRO studios to take over Matt Allen’s Violent Roundtable. (Alright, alright, we’ve been invited, and Matt will still be running the show, but it always makes for an engaging…

An Undebatable Line

By Justin Katz | December 5, 2009 |

Contributorship has its advantages, among which is the right not to be called unnecessary names in the comments sections. Indeed, crossing that line is such a monumentally stupid thing for a commenter to do if he or she derives any value from participating in the ongoing discussions, here, that I can only conclude that the…

Happy Thanksgiving

By Marc Comtois | November 26, 2009 |

To commemorate Thanksgiving this year, I thought it appropriate to post George Washington’s original Thanksgiving Proclamation setting aside Thursday, November 26th (exactly 220 years ago!) as a day of public thanksgiving and prayer. General Thanksgiving By the PRESIDENT of the United States Of America A PROCLAMATION WHEREAS it is the duty of all nations to…

Five Years

By Marc Comtois | November 20, 2009 |

I believe it has gone unmentioned so far, so I’ll do it: November 7th marked Anchor Rising’s 5 Year anniversary. I’m not sure what the average blog shelf-life is out there, but I suspect (and based on my own experience!) that we’ve surpassed it easily. That is partly due to our own doggedness (and the…

Anchor Rising on the Roundtable

By Justin Katz | November 20, 2009 |

Although you all should listen to Matt Allen every night (and especially on Fridays), for planning purposes, it may interest you to know that Anchor Rising (Andrew, Marc, and me) will be filling the seats and taking the mics for his Violent Roundtable from eight to nine o’clock, tonight, on 630AM/99.7FM WPRO.

Technical Issues

By Justin Katz | November 13, 2009 |

Our Web host upgraded our hardware and software, and most everything seems to have gone smoothly. For some reason, however, I’m not able to access Anchor Rising — the page itself — using my Cox cable modem. With my mobile Internet modem, however, I’ve got no problems. Are other Cox users able to access the…

Ah, Technology

By Justin Katz | November 11, 2009 |

Just FYI: Some time in the middle of the night, my email stopped working. I’m trying to get it up and running, but in the meantime, that may explain my lack of response to any messages that you’ve sent.

Grassroots, Multimedia, and Being Bound

By Justin Katz | October 19, 2009 |

It was a variegated weekend, with: Video from the first RI Voter Coalition Meet the Candidate Forum here, here, here, and here And thoughts on the tea party movement here Two of us on the Violent Roundtable there One of us on the topic of binding arbitration elsewhere Information about offering testimony thereon here Assisted…

Out and About, Tonight

By Justin Katz | October 16, 2009 |

Andrew and Monique will be on Matt Allen‘s Violent Roundtable tonight, from 8:00 to 9:00. I’m going to try to get there, as well, but starting at 6:00, I’ll be doing my usual liveblogging-youtubing thing from the Coventry Elks in West Greenwich, where the Rhode Island Voter Coalition is hosting a Meet the Candidates forum.
