Kevin Tracy

I wanted to let everyone know that I’ll be in the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee all of next week. Because I’ll be roughing it and cell phone coverage is non-existent, I’m going to be very difficult to get a hold of. I’ll try to get online now and then, but don’t count on much.

I’ll be staying the night in Lexington, KY on Saturday, and then I’ll be in Tennessee August 1st through August 7th. You can bet your barn that there will be pictures.

There’s a chance I’ll be in Tennessee an extra day, or I might head south to Georgia to visit some friends down there. I have college classes starting on August 23rd, so I’ll at least be back before then.

On a more administrative note, I’m sorry this site is taking so long to become pretty. I promise you, it will be worth the wait.

Great news! For years, Semp and I have discussed the possibility of starting a Drudge-Report-like feature on KTracy.com. The idea would be that this new feature wouldn’t suck, like Drudge does. We started one in 2007, but quickly abandoned it after we realized it wasn’t practical. Well, fast forward three years and, wallah, we’ve got it!

Like the rest of this site, it isn’t much to look at right now and it’s lacking a lot of content, but it’s functioning exactly as we hoped it would. Best of all, it was as cheap as free! We were close to paying a 3rd party developer to make this for us, but I found a way around them. Needless to say, they’re a little pissed that I’m not giving them hundreds of dollars, but their loss is our gain!

Travis, Semp, and Josh will be back as contributors via this new feature. I’m also looking to reincorporate some contributors from the past and some new faces. As always, I’m keeping the highest standards for our contributors. That means the tradition of KTracy.com having some of the brightest thinkers from across the country is going to continue… even if I’m through with politics… and even if some of them are pissed at me because of that.
