Just in case there is any doubt. Shane Roth, Alias "ApexNerd" is one of Latte Republic's prominent blog administrator's; and, one of Latte's regular contributing authors. Shane is also our only "internationally" recognized author for local political satire and videos. (Along with his occasional video production partner, Riley Sweeney). It never ceases to amaze me how many blogs from around the world link to Shane's political satire posts and videos.
Wendy Harris occasionally publishes factual articles about local environmental issues. We appreciate her contributions. It is important that all of the members of our community have the ability to participate in the crafting of public policy.
Elisabeth Britt also occasionally publishes factual articles, but mostly publishes re-prints (with permission) of other people's articles. She also enjoys posting links to articles that she thinks other readers will enjoy. She is the original founder of Latte Republic. Elisabeth is also one of the administrators (not an editor) and thoroughly enjoys reading the majority of the posts published by other community authors and the colorful comments posted by our readers.
No one who posts articles on Latte Republic is a paid employee. No one receives any income from this blog. Sure, we have a few Google ads. But it takes close to two years to earn the fees for one year of Latte's domain registrations. Latte is hardly a "for profit" enterprise.
I find it humorous that someone posting under the name of "Sam" on the Bellingham Herald Politics blog, claims Elisabeth has no sense of humor; and, consequently, no one in their right mind would want to talk to her. Which, (just in case you were wondering), is fine with Elisabeth. FYI: I've had a belly full of local small mindedness. You can throw any amount of garbage you want at me. But don't expect me to catch it for you. There are much bigger issues to tackle in this world, other than someone else's perception of what I, or any other blogger is purportedly "feeling" at any particular moment.
P.S. you can reach Shane, Wendy or Elisabeth by email. Just click the link underlining contributing authors and you will receive a prompt response to your query.
Happy New Year (2013) to one and all! (Including the Bellingham Herald Politics Blog; and all of the local Liberal and Right Wing Conservative Blogs). Latte Republic welcomes spirited debate regarding local, state and federal issues.
Once again, warm regards for the New Year!
Elisabeth Britt and the not so anonymous authors and administrators of Latte Republic.
