Good morning! Yes, this is the blog of the guy who won the Portland, Oregon talk radio contest sponsored by KPOJ. If you just heard me this morning on AM 620 KPOJ in Portland, then welcome. If not, welcome anyway.

This is my blog, the Radical Writ. I experienced a major malfunction and Blogger ate all my posts from December of last year onward. I’m recovering those items and will have them posted by the end of the week. In the meantime, feel free to look over the archives from last year.

I’m also the webmaster of the Oregon NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) – you can read much of my work there in the Articles section. You can also find me as the guest blogger for Pam’s House Blend. This blog is run by Pam Spaulding, a progressive African-American lesbian from North Carolina and is the Weblog Award winner for best Lesbian blog. Yes, I know, what’s a straight white boy from the Pacific Northwest doing writing for Southern black lesbian’s blog? It’s called affirmative action, baby!
