About me


I'm Brendan Loy, a 26-year-old graduate of USC and Notre Dame now living and working in Knoxville, Tennessee. My wife Becky and I are brand-new parents of a beautiful baby girl, born on New Year's Eve.

I'm a big-time sports fan, a politics, media & law junkie, an astronomy buff, a weather nerd, an Apple aficionado, a Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter fanatic, and an all-around dork. My blog is best-known for its coverage of Hurricane Katrina, but I blog about anything and everything that interests me.

Vote early, vote often!

Early voting got underway Wednesday here in Tennessee, and the Reynoldses -- InstaPundit and the Insta-Wife -- voted yesterday. Glenn reports that anecdotal evidence suggests lots of early voters for Obama and native son Thompson.

Personally, I'll wait until February 5 to vote. For one thing, who knows what will happen between now and then? (Those Thompson voters may find that their candidate is out of the race before their votes for him get counted. Same with any early Edwards voters.) Moreover, I like voting on the actual day of the election. There's something sort of romantic about it.

I wonder if any of the candidates will make it out to East Tennessee to campaign? I realize there are much bigger states voting on Pooper Scooper Tuesday, and there are also much bigger cities in Tennessee than Knoxville (namely, Nashville and Memphis), so I suppose the odds are against it... but hey, I can hope, right? I want a campaign event to blog about, like the forum in Phoenix that I went to in '04!

UPDATE: Aha! The Washington Post has a list of campaign events by state for Tennessee. That's helpful!

Comments

Bart: I thought you'd make a difference. That's why I voted for you.
Krusty: How can you vote? You're only ten.
Bart: This isn't about me...or how many times I voted.

You and I have the opposite problem. You have a blog, but can't see a candidate. I saw 10 candidates, but I don't (and can't) have a blog.

I just knew Bart was a Democrat!

Actually Andrew, Krusty ran for the Republican party, so no Bart was a Republican :)
