Ok, so after much wringing of hands, and trying to work out the details (do I cut and paste? Do I copy? What about the comments and pictures???) I've decided that the best thing is to just attach my former blog here--and in my favorites to the right as well. So here you have it--my original blog, The First Amendment--in all of its profound, yet now uneditable, glory.

I'll be writing more new stuff soon, but for now, enjoy the Best of Hoov, First Amendment style...LoL
