Blogs in Hawaii

Bloggers for a Free Hawaii? (Bloggin' from the Tropics pt. 2)

As far as blogs go, the Hawaiian Independence Movement is doing pretty well. Firstly, they seem to act as a source of information for people who might be interested in them and their movement, rather than as a place for ranting and biased political commentary. By posting meetings and real-world events that are releveant to their readers, this blog bases itself in reality. This will probably inspire more political action than a dozen angry letters or rhetorical posts.The internet doesn't exist independently of the real world (just as the reverse is also true) and this is one thing that many bloggers forget. Too often, they are just blowing (typing?) hot air.

Keep up the good work, Hawaiians. BlogCampaigning wishes you luck.

Political Bloggin' in the tropics Pt. 1

Well, since I'll be on the beautiful island of Maui for a few weeks over the holiday period, I thought it would be a bit refreshing to check out what the political blogging scene is like over here. Jerry Burris writes a blog through the Honolulu Advertiser that provides a fairly clear view of what is going on in the political and governmental arena. While it is not exactly part of a political campaign and does not seem to take a definite viewpoint, it is something that politicians will have to pay attention to.
