As for ET doing it, I think -- and I'm cognizant of the fact that I've contributed in comments -- there's been far too much "Americanization" of ET. It's a European site, and I, personally, come to read and discuss what's going on across the Pond.
But I do think American bloggers should be involved in pushing policy rather than simply campaigning. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin
