On taking a stand

Blogging A Stand - The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan: "I guess my view is a personal one. I regard this blog as a constant bur to figure things out. As an opinion writer, it seems to me a professional duty to tackle issues in real time the way politicians responsible for them have to. Otherwise you can lapse into vague commentary to save yourself any embarrassment or error. A columnist has a few days to figure things out. On some questions, I have a few minutes, or a few hours. At least, that's how I distinguish blogging from other forms of opinion writing. It happens now. And now never ends."
