Former Lincoln musician and cool guy Thomas Irvin created this parody of the Ginger ten Bensel song “I Love Nebraska.” Here’s the parody: And here’s the original:

From The Reader’s Media Notes blog: In a front page story in Tuesday’s editions of the Omaha World-Herald, reporter Jake Thompson refers to Chuck Hagel as “Nebraska Senator Chuck Hagel.” But Ben Nelson is identified only as “Nebraska Democrat Ben Nelson” and not as a United States Senator.

There have been some fun debates going on lately in the comments section at Lincolnite.com. I can’t help but get suckered in when they happen (I’m working on that, though). Here’s one that turns into a back-and-forth on the liberal bias of local news media:More on the smoking ban And here’s one about people calling […]

I’m interested in finding some good, thought-out, Nebraska-based, conservative blogs.
