Someone asked me on an article I wrote why I 'regurgitate' other people's work. I don't, but then I had to carefully explain to this n00b1e that I read the news and see things that interest, outrage or make me take pause. So I write about them, quote from them, and link them. But I am not regurgitating them. I am taking the story and then adding my own opinion.
Now this particular blogger is outraged, I guess, that I am conservative and so slam liberals so much. I did not blog on Scooter Libby, or on Delay. I expected, and was not disappointed, when my fellow liberal bloggers picked up on those incidents and wrote articles on them (I hate being a copy cat - so try to avoid do a "me too" article if I have seen one already done).
I enjoy the repartee of the political arena, the "morons on parade" of the normal news, and just commenting on the stupid, inane and sometimes, genius of every day people. And I get my inspiration from articles I read.
So to the Citizen who wonders why I regurgitate? Sorry to disappoint you. I merely read and then state my opinion, and yes it is not flattering to liberals as they are the funniest and silliest animals on this planet.
But I do offer you one thought. You don't have to read me you know. If it gives you acid indigestion, please cease and desist. I will understand and not take it personally.
