I spent much of the day writing a guest editorial for the Gazette Telegraph. It is hard to blog and try to do something like that at the same time.
It was unsolicited, so they may not publish it. If they don't, and even if they do, I will publish it here in two weeks.
The subject was blogging. One of the points I tried to make was that conservative MSM tries to downplay blogs and pretend they have no influence while the liberal MSM promotes liberal blogs.

One of my projects is to act as a miniature Republican version of Colorado Media Matters. I am pleased to report that I found no examples of biased Democratic reporting in either the Denver Post or the Rocky Mountain News today.

Last night I watched the PBS show on the US Supreme Court, or at least the first half. I thought it was outstanding. Its coverage of Marbury vs. Madison was exceptionally enlightening.
I didn't know that Congress had ordered the Supreme Court not to meet for a year, and the Court obeyed. Contrast that with Congress' attempt to simply withdraw jurisdiction on Hamdan-did the five lawless justices obey that, as they should have?
After watching that show, I have much, much more respect for John Marshall.
