Figuring Out This Technology Thing

By Justin Katz | July 25, 2009 |

Both the lack of posts and any sporadic performance on the main page are (probably) explained by the same thing: I’ve been trial-and-error-ing my way through some new coding possibilities. Not resolved yet, but hopefully soon.

The First Real Weekend of Summer (It Seems) Review

By Justin Katz | July 20, 2009 |

Healthcare remained the key topic ’round here over the weekend, beginning with my opinion that the urgency to pass a bill within weeks is faux (and reckless). I subsequently honed in on one reason government operatives might be so keen on universal healthcare: It opens the door to control of people’s behavior and, therefore, the…

Weekend Review

By Justin Katz | July 13, 2009 |

Weatherwise, it appears that spring has finally arrived, which is good, considering that we’re already a couple of weeks into summer. For those of you whom blue skies or other draws kept away from the Internet, here’s what went up on Anchor Rising. The RI Tea Party and the Bristol parade was still a topic…

Independence Weekend in Review

By Justin Katz | July 6, 2009 |

It being a holiday weekend — and only two days, at that — we took it somewhat easier than usual. (There’s certainly an allegory for my schedule in the fact that a fireworks show of approximately 30 minutes ate up a little over two hours of my Saturday evening, but I’ll leave it alone for…

Peculiar Goings On with Comments

By Justin Katz | June 30, 2009 |

For some reason, one of our spam filters became overly broad within the last sixteen hours — blocking for example, comments including the URL “anchorrising.com,” as well as the various IP addresses of regular readers. Having been alerted to the problem, I “approved” all of the comments that had been withheld, and I apologize for…

Weekend Review

By Justin Katz | June 29, 2009 |

A typical weekend on Anchor Rising — and just about all such Web sites, as far as I can tell — brings a 25% drop in daily visitors compared with a weekday. Herewith a summary of our Saturday and Sunday posts for readers who believe their weekends better spent doing otherwise than obsessively reloading our…

Invading the Studio Again

By Justin Katz | June 5, 2009 |

Andrew, Marc, and I will be invading the 630AM/99.7FM WPRO studio again, this evening, for the second all-Anchor Rising Violent Roundtable from 8:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on the Matt Allen Show (which begins at 6:00 p.m.). What the topics will be only Matt knows — which is why I’ll be reading my newspaper a…

Matt on the Mind

By Justin Katz | April 30, 2009 |

While I’m thinking of it: Andrew and I will be on Matt Allen’s Violent Roundtable tomorrow night from 8:00-9:00 p.m. That’s on 630AM/99.7FM… as if you didn’t know.

Perpetually Requiring a Helping Hand

By Justin Katz | January 30, 2009 |

This will be the final post of our week of rattling the cup. Thank you to all who have donated and subscribed online, as well as to those whose snailmail donations have not yet arrived. Unless a substantial surprise awaits us, we’re still a long way from the goal of funding a full-time job, but…

A Hub for the Opposition

By Justin Katz | January 29, 2009 |

I’ve had reason to be optimistic, over the past few days, that the various isolated (and sometimes schismatic) groups that have thus far constituted the Rhode Island right (or center-right) are beginning to come together. The factors that bind us are of increasing importance, compared with those that tend to push us apart. No doubt,…
