So in light of this, you make a big stink about Joe Romm’s journalistic ethics… who cares about the actual facts of the case, eh?

How important!  When can we expect more posts about Kloor over there?

But because Romm invokes them often in his blog to provide a veneer of journalistic cred, I thought it was okay to reference them. But I should have been straightforward and not clever by a half.

I suspect even Romm is a bit embarrassed that this tidbit from his recent qoute-feeding episode got publicized. It hardly seems in line with the idea of the Center for American Progress (CAP) being a cerebral 'Think Tank'. His post on you is just going to keep that quote alive though, so I don't understand it from a strategic perspective. Oh well, conflict brings in the blog hits I guess! I'm not sure the whole huge post needs to be answered point-by-point. Morano feels comfortable just pointing to Romm posts and letting them speak for themselves. Much less work on your part! (and who DOESN'T Romm criticize?) Cheers, -Oliver “I want to trash them [Dubner & Levitt] for this insanity and ignorance.”

Your mother and all that. It’s best to stay away from people’s parents especially when you are trying to be cute.  They tend not to react well.  Didn’t they teach you that in J school?
