Peoria Pundit is not my only blog.
One of the blogs I operate is called The American Guesser. Its name comes of a pen name Ben Frankin used to advocate for American independence. So to maintain the tradition, I use a pen name on the site, although the “About” page makes it clear it’s me doing [...]

No biggie, but it’s been pointed out by many that Peoria Pundit ought to be a blog about media and politics. Personal stuff ought to be somewhere else.
I do have another blog, but I don’t get many visitors and my fragile ego cannot handle not getting comments. I’m gonna start making more use of the [...]

Some members of my blogroll object to the category in which I have placed them. Specifically, I started a category called “Mommy bloggers.”
Anyone who reads a lot of blogs knows there are bloggers who have a lot of post about their kids and they funny, sad, happy, etc. things their children so and say. That [...]

Today’s Peoria Pundit Blogroll Challenge: Try to name the blogger who wrote the following line. Include a link in the comment section. No fair using Google:
I ask the mayor to stick with his appointment of Dr. Rebholz so that there is someone on the board who has some experience from the business sector.

Today’s Peoria Pundit Blogroll Challenge: Which member of my blogroll recently wrote this? No fair answering if you are the blogger in question. And no fair using Google.
Why is every cashier at the Road Ranger a bitch?
Leave your answer — including a link — in the comments section.
UPDATE: That was TOO easy: Peoria Anti-Pundit. Congrats, [...]

Jeff Jarvis, media blogger and one of my personal gurus, recently offered up his responses to the complaints mainstream media types offer up about the Internet and the Blogosphere:
People are rude on the internet. True. They’re rude in life, but perhaps more so online, thanks to anonymity. But we all know who the idiots are. [...]

Kudos to Diane Vespa for her post, “Bringing civility back…”
Fortunately, hosts of forums, blogs, and interactive news sites are starting to realize that allowing this endless onslaught of vitriol damages their work product and stunts their stated objectives- which is often to affect positive change in their community. In addition, it curtails otherwise healthy debate [...]

If you see Diane Vespa, tell her I said “Nice melons.”
And she made some interesting you-had-to-be-there observations from last night’s blogger bash: “Billy talks just like he writes.”
Really? Did she hear the typos?

Diane Vespa might be a traitor to the Cubs, but she’s looking real good. She developed a new header for her Blogger-hosted blog. I approve.
And I don’t know WHY she felt the need to travel to St. Louis to find some male eye candy. It’s like she’s saying there’s no one in uniform in Peoria [...]

I met Londie Benson via Twitter, where she tweets under the handle “Sweetnote.” She and her family lives, as I am oft to say, on the other side of the river. She also has a well-written blog and recently completed this piece, where she writes frankly about life here in the Peoria area.
It’s true we [...]
