Red County magazine acquires TheLiberalOC.com!

March 31, 2007

By Mike Lawson

The nation is polarized into two clear groups: Republicans and Democrats.Â It is nice to know that in the Orange County political blogosphere, that is not the case.

Weâ€™ve been acquired by Red County magazine!

Our new editor is Matt Cunningham, and our new blog name is â€œThe Blue Minority.â€Â Our web domain will be changing before Wednesday.

The press release regarding this exciting new partnership is available here.

Ay Miguelito!
I can’t believe you would sell out to the Reps!
There goes the last progressive political voice in OC.
Good job with the switch-over.:lol:

So Jubal is now the editor of the Liberal OC? That really, really . . . sucks. Jesus Christ. (Or are we not allowed to say that anymore?)

I hope this is a joke.

If it is not, take the money and run huh?

F’ this, I support social justice, NOT BIGAMY AND RACISM.

Good luck, take the money and run… f’n sellouts

You Bastard!

Glad Rebecca remembered what day it is.

Thanks for the kind words there Tim, but this was 100% Lawson. I can’t take any of the credit.
And I agree with Brian – GENIUS!
BTW, Tim, I think you mean BIGOTRY, but perhaps BIGAMY is a big issues with folks in Bakersfield.

That was a good one, It even got me to jump until I realized it was April 1st.

That is a good one! There was also a rumor going around that Irvine allowed Los Angeles to put an airport at El Toro in exchange for some park financing. That had me fooled. It is posted at eltoroairport.blogpost.com
