Important: The future of Merced Politics and TV

This blog, Merced Politics and Television, is at a crossroads. Despite some exposure during October/November’s election madness, we’ve grown bored with the local political scene and need some excitement.

Uncertain of our future, we now turn to you, our readers, to tell us what to do. We’ve created a poll so you can determine the future of this blog. The votes will be tallied on Friday, Jan. 18, and after that date, Merced Politics and TV will either fold or return with a VENGEANCE.

Click here to take the poll.

 

There are two questions:

Should Merced Politics and TV continue to exist?

and

If yes, what should Merced Politics and TV focus on? (write-in are acceptable and binding if victorious).

 Thank you!

Welcome, gentle Sun-Star readers

A special thank you to the Loose Lips crew at the Merced Sun-Star for today’s mention.

Merced Politics and TV will do its best to bear the heavy burden of anonymous political sniping from afar.

Welcome To The e-Hood

If you’re reading this on your computer, you’ve probably heard of blogs. If you’re reading this in the newspaper and you haven’t heard of blogs, we’ve got bad news: You are behind the times. (Or as the local news editor of the Sun-Star styles himself, a trogluddite.)

For people who keep up on the magical world of the Internet, Lips is pleased to report there’s a new blog in town at mercedpoliticsandtv.wordpress.com.

The author of Merced Politics and Television is anonymous, but he or she isn’t shy about calling out local officials by name. The blog takes aim at the entire City Council, planning commissioner Carole McCoy and council candidate Bob Acheson.

The new site is good news for those of us who were mourning the demise of local real estate blog Merced Going Quickly, which shut down a few months back and left a gaping hole in the snark-o-sphere.

Merced politics and television blog

This is a new blog by a resident of Merced, California to document and explore two bizarre worlds: local and regional politics, and a few television shows I happen to watch. Both give me that “Jesus, is anyone else seeing this?!” sense which has compelled me to publish my thoughts on a WordPress blog.
