For those of you who are interested, I’ll be guest hosting on WDAY AM970 (listen live at the link) in Fargo tomorrow and all next week in the 9-11am time slot. Tomorrow I’ll have on Libertarian Party candidate Jack Seaman to talk about his campaign, and who (other than incumbent Rep. Kevin Cramer) he might…
A New Look For SAB
If you’ve experienced some weirdness on SAB today, that’s because we’ve been in the process of upgrading the site to a new template. The new design is a bit less linear than the old one, but I think it’s a better way of organizing content. On the front page is a news slider showing the…
Two North Dakotans Named Best State-Based Political Reporters By The Washington Post
The Washington Post has selected the best state-based political reporters in the country, and two names got picked from North Dakota. The first is long-time Associated Press reporter Dale Wetzel who last year joined a new media venture at the Great Plains Examiner in addition to hosting a radio show. The other is, uh, me.…
Sick Day Open Thread
Got back from our Memorial Day Weekend camping trip just in time to catch a horrendous cold. No posting today. Regular blogging will resume tomorrow.
Memorial Day Weekend Open Thread
As you could probably tell from the very light posting this week, I’ve been on half-way vacation since Monday. Now I’m heading out for some real vacation with the family over the weekend. Assuming we don’t get rained out. I hope you all have a happy, and safe, weekend. Enjoy your family, and remember your…
Correction: Senate Attendance Numbers Inaccurate

Since there is no central repository for attendance numbers, no government record which shows a votes missed total for each legislator, we had to compile that information from the daily House and Senate journals. It was…
Site Announcement: Welcoming A View From The Left To SAB
I’ve long wanted Say Anything to be an open political forum. That’s why we have an open commenting section, so that the blog doesn’t become an echo chamber. But I also like the idea of SAB having some different viewpoints on the front page, which is why I’ve invited GameND to contribute regular “from the…
SAB Makes Top 100 Conservative Blogs Again
The latest rankings from RedFlagNews.com are out, and I’m happy to say that SAB is once again ranked in the top 100 for American conservative political blogs. We’ve made this ranking before, and we moved up a slot this time around from 89 to 88. As always, given some of the other websites on the…
Light Posting Open Thread
I’ll hitting the road this weekend. I’ll be in Dallas, TX this weekend attending Freedom Works’ BlogCon event. It should be a good time, and they’ve even invited me to sit on a panel discussing local blogging. Using the online medium to facilitate reporting, information sharing and discussion is something I’m passionate about, but it’s…
Site Announcement: Commenting On SAB Will Now Require Registration
I’ve always been proud that SAB is the sort of place where you can, well, say anything. I think open political forums, even with all the pie-throwing that goes on, are important. Even when most of that pie-throwing is aimed at me. But just from a logistical standpoint, we need to fix something that’s wrong…
