Confederate Yankee Profile

Bob Owens, one of my favorite bloggers, got interviewed by the Washington Post. The piece is short, but well worth the read.

HereÂ’s my favorite snippet.

Please ask yourself a question that wasn't listed above and provide an answer.

Question: What makes your thoughts and opinions more correct or valuable than mine or someone else's?

Answer: Thoughts and opinions only have the value a reader assigns to it. On matters of fact, I try to establish credibility by doing research the reader may not have time to conduct on his own, and in matters of opinion, I try to offer a reasonable level of support for my position. Whether you are a Pulitzer-winning journalist or a Weblog Award nominee, your value comes from your credibility and your ability to substantiate what you say, and your ability to admit and correct mistakes.

So, Hal Straus, when is it my turn?
