"The media needs partisans, that's how they program. Rabid rightie vs. shrill leftie, arf, arf, arf. Mark out your turf and defend it. Politics as brand identity: always promote the brand. That's how the blogosphere works, too, which is why I'm a lousy blogger. I'm politically unreliable. I have no turf. I have no loyalties. I just float around, smell blood and leave behind an irritating rash."

Thanks for the dose of honest truth. The blogsphere is oftentimes too shrill, partisan, and single-minded in it's views. We're all guilty of it, even me. Hell, especially me, but that doesn't mean we should stay that way. M. Takhallus, with his gruff persona and straightforward writing is a breath of fresh air, check him out over at his blog Sideways Mencken.
