Blogs Want To Be Free
Joanne Jacobs has a new term for what we do--freeblogs. It's not perfect, but I find it far preferable to "warblog," which I've never considered this. I think that the warblog term gained currency because so many of them popped up in the wake of 911, but very few of them focus exclusively on the war, including this one.
BTW, Joanne had a great column at Fox News this weekend. In fact, all of the weblogs at Fox News last week (Will, Ken, Moira, and Tim) were great, with the possible (probable?) exception of my own.

No, Rand, your column was great--and I told you so at the time ....
Stop being modest.

He's right. Now quit fishing for compliments and keep up the good work.

I'll just bet you say that to all the guys.

He might... but I agree with him. Wanna make something of it?

Well, that I have to take seriously. No telling what a bellicose woman might do.

But wait, what's a freeblog? Free from what? Or of what? Besides free of charge, of course.

Freeblog is a pretty good idea. But I like the sound of warlog. I like to think there is a battle for common sense going on, thus, warblog.

I don't say it to all the guys. Just the ones who write well. So trust me, you're in very exclusive company.
