Via Alexander Svensson’s Wortfeld (auf Deutsch) the Associated Press says it is sending out blogs. They’re really just what we used to call reporters’ notebooks: little bits smaller than stories, now called posts. I don’t mean to be dogmatic about what is and isn’t a blog and I suppose it is an indication of the changed times that everyone wants to have one.
Perhaps I am bighting the hand Jeff
But you appear to be an arrogant ass. Just my humble opinion
Well, I am relieved to find my condemnation from someone who neither has the balls to use a name nor the learning to know how to spell “bite.” I doubt you have humble opinions, whoever the hell you are.
Jeff, I am your father… Meow
In all seriousness… I have followed your blog and your opinions on what ever television show has time to place them. You appear to be a player who comments on those that “do”, a monday morning quarterback, so to speak. A media pundit. I do, however find you comments provacative. I also find some of them insulting.
Your defense of Mr Stern and his “potty talk” became fodder on the network you appeared on. I believe they cut you off and dismissed you as being “a fan”. Instead of engaging an intelligent dialgue, you resorted to a one way conversation of first amendmant rights; an issue upon which Mr Stern has weighed into prior. I think you could have done yourself and the issue you were chosen to weigh in on better.
Your agenda is clear and I respect it. Your opinions are libertarion and I respect them. I do not know much but I do enjoy a robust dialogue, especially when it involves cultural issues of the day.
In full disclosure, or perhaps veiled disclosure, I am new to this blogging thing (as demonstrated by my lack of spelling but that is semantics… I am paid to think, not spell).
You picked the spotlight. You chose this avenue to expound your opinions, I have chosen to engage those opinions, that is all. Who I am is irrelivent. If you do your research, you will find that I am a person who is very much in step with you… and the opinions you choose to opt in on.
Happy New Year
After reading my rant, following your rant… Perhaps we could dub me Tuesday Morning Quarerback?
It is all in fun… No?
[...] Defining “blog” is tricky, as last week’s Economist pointed out. But they do have some basic characteristics that most people can agree on. Mere reverse-chronological posting of opinionated text does not a blog make. A blog is an inherently social form of writing that links to other web sites and takes technological steps to encourage others to respond to the author, either by allowing readers to attach comments directly to the blog or by providing an easily-accessible permanent links to each individual entry. Blogs also link to information provided elsewhere on the Internet. Kavanagh’s so-called “blog” does none of these things. But the Sun is hardly the only old media organisation eager to jump aboard the buzzword bandwagon. Another party guilty of this semantic sin is the Associated Press. The American wire service has been labeling short notes as “blogs” for months now. [...]
