I am content to allow you to obsess on the primary results . ... I am taking a break from it all LOL. I wonder though? are you really walking everywhere? I managed to make a seven mile fast paced hike this weekend - my boots are officially worn out after four years - I cheated and drove the 40 miles to the trail head though. I tried the web cam thing for awhile - it was kind of creepy in a way, fun in other ways - let us know how it goes.

Ok, before the 1st I leave my comment LOL

I dislike the atmosphere of constant pranks and find it hard trying to decide if someone is fooling me or not. My luxury is I can stay at home and avoid it all. Count me as a Killjoy also. But if this is just an early 1st joke than consider me had.

Just checking in. I am now humming the grapevine raisin style - it is a sad loss. And yes, drummers can make or break a bands performance quality.

Re: LAPD Bars BlogHer From Covering GOP Debate

I agree that the LAPD's stance makes no sense so I would tend to agree that it was obstruction. . But, the difference between the Huffington Post bloggers and the BlogHer would go back to the point of who gets the passes. Those who have kissed the right ___ or?

I realize that this is mostly about BlogHer and LAPD's "doesn't do online" stance but I consider many bloggers part of the "media pundits". Yes they need to catch up and allow bloggers access. Yes, many bloggers are trying to bring the political process out to the cyber world participants but this does in itself, the fact they are "bloggers", not mean the accuracy or quality of the reporting will rise.

On the fly social networking brings immediate reactions, reports, etc that is a good thing. But, just as I have to consider the source of information I get via tele, radio, and print, I too have to filter blog and social network info.

How does one go about deciding which bloggers will get access and which ones don't? I dunno. I suspect the higher rated, A Listed, and professional bloggers would. That still leaves the grass roots ideals in the dumpster. They are not going to give me a pass to blog from a debate nor most of my blogger friends.

The best way to get the process started would be of course to garner enough blogger support demanding a new policy. Then all the bloggers who demanded the change can sit back and read what all the blogger pundits have to say. Reporting is reporting no matter what the media outlet.

Just as the legal world needs to play catch up with digital copyright issues etc. the LAPD needs to catch up too.
