The Republicans announce their pledge and the blogosphere goes nuts...

We have blogger type people for and blogger-type people against.  Nice Deb has a nice roundup of the two sides.  Personally I don't care one way or the other about so much blah-blah.  I want to see results and the only thing that really matters is action.

Once again many of the top bloggers in their effort to mock Obama have posted something that is just not true.  Israel was not at the UN for Obama's speech because of the Feast of Tabernacles, a Jewish holiday.  Some of these bloggers have walked back their statements - some have not.  I'm seeing this more and more. It's a good way to lose your credibility.  It is rare that you would see an accomplished journalist such as Stacy McCain do that. 

In case you missed it:

The American Dream

The American Dream.  I remember when those words and what they connote made me stand just a little taller, feel just a little bolder, speak just a little more assuredly.  To me, The American Dream (yes, with a capital "T" on "the") meant that anyone--even me--had a chance to succeed, to build a business, buy a home, save for a rainy day, plan for a decent retirement, send kids to college, achieve whatever success one dreamed possible for oneself.  If that meant financial success, yay! If that meant personal success, however you define that for yourself, yay!  read the rest at Fuzzy Logic - excellent!
