No more Independent Blogs for me!
Well thru the past few months a handful of independent blogs were for some reason reporting, that there were going to be a handful of indictments given, that this will uncover all the crimes of the Bush Administration, of course its not their fault who Fitzgerald indicts, but in terms of their writing style, they said this as Fact.

My respect for the independents out there has dropped completely.

Just like with Raw Story, I cannot go to those web pages anymore.

Thanks to the posters of DU, who said everything is speculation at the moment, and just wait until Fitzgerald makes his announcement.

Those posters were the only ones that got it right.

Well Done to those posters here on DU!

2. Why don't you just wait...

...for Fitz to finish, instead of pronouncing the blogs as being wrong when you have no idea what really went on?

I mean, if it was such sage advice in the first place, why doesn't it apply again in this case?

3. I'm always surprised how quickly people believe
whatever they read in a blog.

4. In conversation, I've been trying to get my DFA and other friends
to tone down their expectations for some weeks now. That's probably just because I live with my Libertarian attorney husband, who keeps my feet on the ground about how the Law works.
