I'm enjoying having my very own GOP website very much.

I'm holding a GOP house party on Election Day! The beau, a lifelong Democrat, just switched to Republican so he could vote in Repubican primaries. I am sure he won't mind [very much] that I am hosting my GOP party at his house. The idea is to use your free cellphone minutes to call and urge voters to get and vote.

I admit I was surprised to learn the Republican Party does permit criticism of Republican candidates, albeit indirectly, in its blog. I posted about my Sunlight Foundation earmark research in response to a criticism of Charlie Rangel in the GOP blog.

The link to the Sunlight Foundation is still there and when you hit it, it opens to my comment about the big right wingers falling down on the job. Down the page a bit are some of my other, somewhat negative comments about Republicans.

I haven't been able to change my GOP greeting as of yet. I did upload two photos for my GOP website but they haven't been so far today.

The first photo is of Mark Foley with six interns, five men and one woman that I captioned "Happy Days".

The second photo is actually a map of the North of the Russian Federation with Soviet nuclear test sites marked.

Personally, I don't the Russians have any business testing nuclear weapons north of the Arctic Circle.

All of the maps I found of the North of the Russian Federation on the Anspira website are fascinating! Not only do they show where the people indigenous to the region live, they show airports where there are no towns, oil and gas fields and all sort of things.

I am curious as to whether the sites marked with airplanes where there are no towns nearby represent where the Russians keep their nuclear weapons. (Tip: Enlarge the map images to be able to read the labels.)

From what I have read, the indigenous peoples of the North of the Russian Federation can use all of the help they can get. The indigenous peoples are not getting their fair share of Russian oil revenue, for one, yet their land is beig ruined by oil companies who do not have to adhere to environmental safety regulations.

I have so many comments to make about these maps, I think I might do a blog entry about them. I mentioned them once before in the TPM Cafe but I was a little nervous about doing so then. Not anymore!

I don't know why the Daily Kosters are not all signing up for their very own GOP wbsites instead of yakking to each other all day. If you ask me, the Kosters are wasting a lot of time and energy preaching to the converted and should get out more often.

Imagine lots of Kosters hosting GOP house parties or if they don't want to hold a house party, they could attend them. I requested an invitation to one on Long Island. If I am invited, I am going for sure. I've never been to a GOP function.
