After Apple's announcement that they would not be attending Macworld after next week's event, there has been a lot of curiosity among the diehard Apple fanboys and girls about what it will mean for the annual event. For those of you who are lucky enough to be going this year, IDG, the company who put on the event along with Macworld, is hosting a town hall meeting on Wednesday, January 7th, where
In early June, Senator John McCain invited Senator Barack Obama to attend a series of up to 10 “town hall” style meetings throughout the summer. At the time of the invitation Obama was receptive to the idea of appearing with McCain at the “town hall” meetings, but in early August, the Obama campaign cited a very busy campaign schedule as to why they would not attend the meeting
Seller Funded Down Payment Assistance (DPA) is scheduled to be done away with October 1st as a part of the newly enacted housing bill; however a movement is in motion on capitol hill to prevent this action. There is a ground swell of action being taken by many parties to get House of Representatives Bill Number 6694 passed before the housing bill kicks in to take away the program. &nbs
On orders from presidential candidate John McCain's security detail, Denver police forcibly removed a 61-year-old librarian who was waiting in line to attend a town hall meeting with McCain that was billed as open to the public. The police threatened her with arrest as well.Her crime? She was holding a sign that said McCain=Bush:

Over at the Sentencing Law and Policy blog there is an intriguing call for a town-hall style meeting on Crime and Punishment between candidates Obama and McCain, and maybe even Bob Barr (who must have some intriguing views on the topic - PardonPower is still waiting for a response from Mr. Barr). Among some proposed questions: "What is your view of the President's clemency power and how might you

Yesterday’s appearance by Hillary Clinton on This Week has received the most coverage for her once again supporting the gas tax holiday and saying she’s not going to listen to all the economists who disagree with her. Even someone asking a question at the Town Hall realized she was pandering:

We went to our first presidential campaign town hall meeting today. This time was an event for John McCain at the American Legion hall in Claremont. I was surprised to get the phone invitation the other day from McCain's people. I guess he's courting the independent vote. As this will be our first presidential election cycle since moving to New Hampshire, I'm still not altogether certain of the process. From what I gather, we'll be allowed to choose which primary we want to cast our ballots in (assuming we wish to cast our ballots in either primary).If you've read my campaign web site, you'll probably already be aware that I am, on principle, opposed to the whole two-party system. By extension, I'm also of the opinion that there ought not to be a primary election cycle. I think we'd all be much better off if we just went straight to the general election. Stop playing this game of trying to determine which of our like-minded people would best represent all of our fellow like-min
On Memorial day John Edwards spoke at five different town hall meetings. While many were enjoying the day off presidential candidates were busier than ever giving multiple speeches on Monday. John Edwards spent the holiday on a Iowa town hall meeting kick. He appeared at five town hall meetings to discuss veterans issues and the treatment of veterans. He addressed the concerns that there are among returning Iraqi soldiers and the fact that one and every three of them return with some kind of emotional or mental problems (such as post traumatic stress disorder PTSD). He also talked about the thousands of soldiers that return with serious injuries such as missing limbs or other serious physical problems because of their great service to our country. Edwards believes that we have not been providing enough for our soldiers and veterans. “I do believe we have a sacred contract with the men and women that serve this country so we want to evaluate what they need and be

Peeps, I am having some severe computer issues tonight and I am afraid that the town hall meeting will not be an enjoyable experience given the amount of interest we had at the last town hall meeting. I don't think it makes sense to reschedule to tomorrow because of the holiday weekend. I am going to reschedule until next Monday at 7PM EST. Sorry for any inconvenience, I am afraid to even attempt this right now given the repeated application quits I am experiencing on my laptop. Unfortunately, I don't have another computer handy.To make it up to you I am going to let you know about a little secret.... shhhhhh.
It's about that time again peeps. I want to get another meeting in before I hit the road for awhile. There will be a Town Hall Meeting on Wednesday at 7PM EST. More details to follow. This is limited to the first 75 people who login. Same setup as last time.
It was just another day. Well, that's not quite true. Friday is usually reserved for yours truly. It's my day off. Get the camera out and (in the words of the Mrs) take some sad photos. No work, kids at school, Mrs off at work earning a crust. The way it should be. This week, however, there was a rather large fly in the ointment - the kids do not go back to school until Monday!Don't get me wrong, they're brilliant. Today's snap sees them scoffing (in no particular order) a chocolate eclair and a gingerbread man. Jamie Oliver would be proud of their diet. However, it wouldn't be Crewe blog unless said bakery items were consumed in front of Crewe's hotseat of power, the scene of many political debates, scandals and, maybe, minor scuffles. I give you the Market Hall and Municipal Buildings... (click here for yet more snaps of our town's newly revamped Municipal Square, this time a cunning angle from under a tree near to the library).Anyway, we wandered into town with a purpose, ma
