The Delta Dirt Tops 1,000 Fans on Facebook



Just a week since the founding of The Delta Dirt's Fan page on Facebook, over 1,200 members have indicated their affection for this site. To me, that is amazing. The ability to network with people that have likely never heard of this website is an opportunity that did not exist just a few short years ago.

Now, people all over the nation have signed up for the Dirt's Fan page and are discussing Dirt-related topics such as agriculture and uploading their own photos of Delta scenery. We too have uploaded photos to the Fan page, since Facebook makes it easy to upload photos to an album. Last week, I uploaded photos of an old fire engine and Delta water towers. More Delta shots will be uploaded soon.

To all our Fans out there, we say thank you! If you like the blog and are looking for another way to experience The Delta Dirt and interact with others who either follow the site or like the concept of alluvial soil, check out our Facebook Fan page at www.facebook.com/thedeltadirt and become a Fan today!

Barack Obama is the only candidate that has been successful at reaching across party lines in the presidential election. I as well have not had much to say on The Dirt. It is unfortunate that I no longer consider myself in tune with life in the Delta and can no longer comment as such. My free time (what little of it I have) has also been dedicated to following both the presidential election and American Idol like a hawk. That having been said, I am not afraid to admit that my name is on Amy's list of previously sane people who are seriously considering Obama in November. Now, my consideration depends on a lot of future events to fall into place. First and foremost, Obama will have to beat Hillary for the Democratic nomination. If that were to happen, my pick between Obama and McCain would also depend on who each picks for their veep candidate. As a self-proclaimed independent, I find myself torn between these two candidates and refuse to make a blind decision based on what ce...

Editorial: As Predicted, McCain Falls in the Polls

This two-minute campaign ad clearly states Barack Obama's plan to reenergize our economy. Thank God someone is addressing this issue. In an opinion editorial previously published this week, I predicted that the roller coaster ride the economy has been on this week would cause Republican presidential candidate John McCain to fall in the polls. "My prediction: By the end of the week, McCain's stance on the economy will cause his Palin bump in the polls to all but disappear." According to Real Clear Politics , "one of America’s premier independent political web sites," my prediction came true. Currently, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is ahead in the polls by 1.9% , approximately the level by which he was ahead leading into the Democratic and Republican conventions. The Palin bump that McCain joined is now completely gone. This reversal of fortune is due, in part, to Obama's strength on the issue of the economy and the popularity of his e...
