About me

LocationOcean Beach, San Diego, California, United States
IntroductionThe OB Rag was initiated by Frank Gormlie and Patty Jones in late October 2007 to ply the San Diego scene with news and commentary from a distinctively progressive and grassroots perspective, and to provide a forum for those views. When we started blogging, we were disgusted with the state of things: the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, a bellicose and war-mongering President Bush, a Constitutional crisis, the environmental and global meltdown, as well as local corruption and government incompetence on all levels. We believed then and still believe now that things can and should be a whole lot better. We remain critical – and hopeful – of our political environment. We have come to deeply understand that progressives need to keep pressure on the White House, no matter who is in it. And it’s important to develop broad coalitions of activists and like-minded people and be willing to work across different parties and communities. The OB Rag is now a recognized local news website with more than 20 local authors. The month of September 2011 we had over 100,000 page hits and expect to reach 2 million page hits by early October 2011. Join us in changing the dialog in San Diego.
