		<description>SChotline under Starboard's umbrella?

No, no, no, it's more under the umbrella of the Howard Rich-controlled Faith in the South Carolinian Palmetto Council Group for Reform and Responsible Conservative Growth In The Sound's umbrella.</description>

		<description>Shot,

Even though there are accuracy issues with this post that I won't get in to, would you mind fixing the link to TMPR? The address is taftmatney.com.

Thanks, for thinking of me guys.

		<description>Their spelling was all my fault.  I kept them out late last night drinking.

The shadowy, sinister forces that are really behind my blog were picking up the tab.

		<description>Dude - you're right. The post itself means nothing to our standard. It's all in the spelling.</description>

		<description>Dude - if you're going to blog, you have a certain responsibility to keep up a standard of quality that you are currently failing to achieve...

...the word in your headline should be "there", not "their"...

I have no knowledge of the actual subject of the post (other than that "Wilson Charles" of Brooks Brothers fame, whomever he may be, appears to be a very good writer).</description>

		<description>Wow ... thanks for trying to be so nice, but I really do have an agenda ... I'm out to find free beer, cheap hookers, and lots of 80s heavy metal albums.

A lot of politically-employed bloggers chose that occupation because they enjoy being able to combine a hobby and their career.  So it's natural that one would want to talk about something they're interested in.

Just like sports fans talk about sports on their sites.  People talk about what they care about.  As long as I know who is saying it and what the author's connections are, I see nothing wrong with having overlapping relationships.  

As long as everything's fair, above board and nobody makes it personal, vicious or false, that's all that should matter.  If we tried to disqualify everyone who worked in politics from blogging about it, things would be awful quiet out there.

Besides, if people believe everything they see online, without a second opinion, then they need to call me.  I've got this great online source for all natural male enhancement ... and for the ladies, herbal breast enhancement pills. 

Seriously, dude, I enjoy your site and appreciate it's contributions to the state's political blogosphere.  Keep up the good work.</description>
