Lady McBride Doth Protest Too Much

When I was blogging back in the day, I used to joke that I had brevity issues. I put the word “rambles” in the name of my blog as fair warning. I would never be able to tweet, I used to say, because I couldn’t say “good morning” in 140…

My son’s life is immeasurably better because of Jocelyn

Those of you who are regular readers of Blogging Blue know that while I write a lot about politics, news, current events, etc., I will from time to time get a little personal and write about life, family etc. Among the topics I’ve touched on a few times is my…

A Speech-Free Zone

It’s no secret Jessica Buch…McBride isn’t a fan of comments on her blogs that dare to dissent from the opinion she’s espousing. In fact, I’ve always found it a little odd that someone who purports to be a “journalist” would be so opposed to free speech in all its forms,…

Is it just me…

…or has anyone else noticed how fond some folks in the right-wing blogosphere are of moderating their comments? I mean, to each their own, but it’s funny to me to see so many folks on the right resort to moderating their comments in order to screen what gets said. It…
