Ode to Bloggers
Some people just don’t get blogging.
If you don’t got nothin’ new to say, don’t say it! And fer cryin’ out loud, stop linking to other blogs, ya bunch of inbreds!
Seriously. I’ve read this sentiment many times on blogs and Web sites. Saw one yesterday almost identical to the blurb above, on a blog which shall remain unlinked.
One of the best things about blogs is the rich network of links and connections. One thing leads to another, which leads to another, and another, ad infinitum. For an information nut, this dynamic is sheer paradise.
Yesterday a blogger found my blog, wrote a blog post about life coaching that included a link to one of my blog posts, which led me to her post on BlogHer.com, which led me to a whole new world of women bloggers and a bunch of great new resources to explore. For example, here’s a post that grabbed my attention: Tools for Voters Who Want to Separate Facts From Spin.
(Go ahead. I dare you to see what you can find out about Ron Paul at FactCheck.org! And you’ve got to see the Truth-O-Meter at PolitiFact.org.)
So to all my fellow bloggers, blog on!

Oddly, there is nothing on Ron Paul at FactCheck - a good source for information. Is is beacuse he was “excluded” or that his comments are not relevant? He is listed as having participated in the debates.
Still more news about his writings
His comments are relevant, and apparently factual. Hence, he checks out okay by FactCheck.
Re the Reason Magazine article: Ah, the plot thickens!
I took another look at issue positions supported by Paul. I find I am at odds with many of them. His historical rhetoric aside, I could not support him as leader of the west with this record.
All I will say here is that I find that I’m not at odds with many of his positions. That’s why I support him. And why you don’t.
Thanks for the links!
