I can't believe he got paid for this. I don't know with an attitude like that I'd want him in my newsroom. This piece is so bad it's funny. http://theconnexion.net/wp/index.php?cat=1 Thanks Alicia, you find good blogging articles.:^) Yawn (waves hand like shooing fly) I think the most aggregious ‘not getting it article’ is this guy.

I thought about sending them an email, but I decided that they still wouldn't get it. I have a small readership - maybe 100 regulars. I blog on what I feel like blogging, and try to ignore the most egregious political brouhahas. The Sunday NY Times also had a bit on political blogging. ( http://www.nytimes.com/2004/09/26/magazine/26BLOGS.html?oref=login) Yawn (waves hand langorously in air). For me, blogging is first and foremost about community. If I can share info with those of my readers/friends who are interested, if I can have a conversation about things that matter, that is what it is all about.

I posted a response to La Shawn Barber's comments on the blog "envy" issue myself - I see you have responded to Malkin. Until this week I didn't even know who these women were - I had been gloriously unaware of the pundits. I read your other post about politics in God blogs. I took a real good look around the Christian blogosphere this week and was amazed at the amount of political content in posts. I'm in New Zealand and to be honest, we find our own politics a tad boring if the discussion goes on too long, much less anyone else's politics. We don't have a political wing which automatically goes with being a Christian here. Having said all that - some of the US God blogs have some fantastic content that isn't political. I was reading some today. I am in a couple of the blog alliances which their blogs are in and I really do appreciate the insights about God himself. Well I've enjoyed reading your blog - thanks!

Do it with gratitude and with pleasure." That's what I'm aiming for, missing a lot of the time, but still trying. A quote from William Zinsser for you:
