Gooooooood morning fine people! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend.

I'm Mindmouth, your hostess this morning here at the Froggy Bottom Cafe slash Welcome Wagon. If you're new here at the Boo, come on in and say hello! If you're not new, well, you know what to do.

Let's start the morning with a song, shall we?

Author Matt Taibbi

by Mindmouth
Wed Apr 20th, 2005 at 01:06:53 PM EST

I first heard of Matt Taibbi when he began covering the Presidential campaigns for Rolling Stone magazine in 2003. One of the first articles of his that I read concerned his going 'undercover' as a Bush supporter and volunteer in Florida, and it was not only eye opening, but hysterical. He traveled with Kerry's camp, the Dean camp, and the Bush camp, so he covered all sides of the coin.

Tell me about you.

[promoted to the Front Page by BooMan]

I see so many familiar faces from Kos, but feel like I barely know you guys.

I'm trying to pull myself out of a funk today, and figure meeting new people would be a nice way to do it.

So, tell me a little about you.

Who are you? Where are you from? What do you do for a living? What about for fun? Got any kids? Pets?

Tell us about who you are and what you do. Please share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with. I just thought maybe some introductions would be a nice way to continue our Booman Kickoff.

Mon Mar 28th, 2005 at 02:10:36 PM EST

Who knew? Tom Delay, of thuggish Texas politican fame, has had his own personal tragic story regarding a case similar to Terri Schiavo's - his father's.

The Booman Book & Film Fest

by Mindmouth
Tue Mar 22nd, 2005 at 08:09:21 AM EST

In a diary I posted yesterday, a few of our fellow members here at the Tribune suggested a place to talk books and movies. Everyone likes one or the other, don't they?

So here's a place to chat about any good books you've read, whether political or not, and movies you've seen that you'd recommend to the rest of us. We want to hear from you! What's out there that we should check out? What fantastic entertainment are we missing?

I'll start, below the fold.

Boy, did I feel stupid.

Mon Mar 21st, 2005 at 11:51:04 AM EST

Hi guys. This is where I confess to feeling extremely idiotic for some months now, and hope someone out there can say, 'Hey! That was me, too!', but if not, that's okay. ;)
