My brain cells are fading. I sometimes wish I had a fact checker or an editor looking over my shoulder, but then again newspapers have these resources and yet still have to print corrections almost everyday. Considering that we don't have those resources the level of error among most bloggers is impressively low. <BR/><BR/>The first thing I pointed out was that the Ardolino article was from the Associated Press, but I interpreted that notation about the Republican as meaning that information (some of the facts) were taken from the Springfield Republican. If the whole article appeared in the Republican, it doesn't google up that I could see. <BR/><BR/>The relevant point is those were interesting details that didn't get enough attention and so I was glad to perform the service of pointing a spotlight on them. I mean these guys cheated even their friends when they drank at their bar. Now that's low!Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10900475514170268904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023556716422736970.post-90302703580122531952009-01-21T11:43:00.000-05:002009-01-21T11:43:00.000-05:00I wonder if that P.

There's a notation at the bottom of the story saying "Information from: The Republican, http://www.masslive.com/republican/"Bill Dustyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05673867141492129022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023556716422736970.post-76489438938363107072009-01-21T07:10:00.000-05:002009-01-21T07:10:00.000-05:00What he said...

The cost for Bush's inauguration didn't include security detail, the total would be $145 million.<BR/><BR/>And, the paper you quoted is from NEW HAMPSHIRE, not Maine. There is a difference!<BR/><BR/>This is the problem with blogs, no editors or fact checkers.<BR/><BR/>In general, I love reading your writing, and check in every day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023556716422736970.post-91126393706751620372009-01-20T22:59:00.000-05:002009-01-20T22:59:00.000-05:00Wah wah wah, we get it, you don't like Obama.

As someone who works in a shelter, you'd think you could at least dig on that concept.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
