I want to assure everyone that while both I and ODub criticize Our Leader, we do so from quite different standpoints. Does that comment make my blog look “liberal”?

I hereby offer a full and voluntary confession, and - yes! - I do prefer supporting our leader to heading to Morozemlya, Sibir."

No more than talk radio or tv talking heads or any other media outlet. It sure is funny how "new information" or actually researching a topic before mouthing off (something blogs are not known for) can do that. But it's all chattering class hoo-ha anyway. This brings up another point. You've been remarkably silent about the unimpressive reach of blog readership as reported by a <a href="http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060224/OPINION01/602240323/1068/OPINION" rel="nofollow">recent Gallup poll</a>. However egalitarian you wish to view blogs as being, their influence have and will always be in the hands of few. Just because the gates are open to all doesn't mean everyone has the interest to walk in. Change minds? No more than talk radio or tv talking heads or any other media outlet.
