In 2004, Rady Ananda joined the growing community of citizen journalists. Initially focused on elections, she investigated the 2004 Ohio election, organizing, training and leading several forays into counties to photograph the 2004 ballots. She officially served at three recounts, including the 2004 recount. She also organized and led the team that audited Franklin County Ohio's 2006 election, proving the number of voter signatures did not match official results. Her work appears in three books.
Her blogs also address religious, gender, sexual and racial equality, as well as environmental issues; and are sprinkled with book and film reviews on various topics. She spent most of her working life as a researcher or investigator for private lawyers, and five years as an editor.
She graduated from The Ohio State University's School of Agriculture in December 2003 with a B.S. in Natural Resources.

On November 4th, our community was attacked. Now I gotta get in your face. They pissed off the wrong group of people. Instead of having gay marriage in California, NO! We're gonna get it across the country. -Wanda Sykes

Tropical storm Fay hit South Florida late last night, and the rains haven't stopped since. After Andrew, Katrina and Wilma, a myriad of preparations go into anticipation of a hurricane. How odd to this snowbird.

Parody of "I'd Love to Change the World" by Ten Years After. Dave Berman had me submit this to musicians who will be parodying the original, but alas, my version didn't win the Blue Ribbon. I still love it.
