Bourque Bork-ed?
(Not the Swedish Chef, you moron)
I just wanted to state for the record that I, The Rat, do not, and have not ever accepted money-for-blog. I just felt I needed to clear the air considering how many other reputable blogs were discussing the subject. But, if you're really cute, female (I said I was straight, O.K.), and have something else to trade drop me a line . . .

The Repsonse Cherniak Won't Post
Jason Cherniak seems to have bone to pick with SPIN. And it seems his SPIN is the only one he wants to get out. In fact, he's so scared someone else might show him up he's begun moderating comments. I don't mean moderating for SPAM, or for obscene content, I mean for stuff he doesn't like. I posted this to his blog in response to his tirade:
Thanks for the morning comedy with the morning coffee. Oh, and for the morning Liberal SPIN. Funny, but I remember reading that, despite the DION BLOGS SPIN, France doesn't make anyone an automatic citizen, that Dion did, in fact, actively pursue his French citizenship. SPIN. And I do prefer Coyne's SPIN on Dion regarding Khan and divided loyalties. Further, I wasn't aware a friend of yours had named his dog "Trudeau". Know why? He hasn't publicly posed with the dog for publicity photos! If Dion didn't want to be mocked he didn't have to make his dog an issue in the campaign!
And a final note to the part of you, Jason, that should be thinking like a lawyer. You wrote:
"It is well known, if little discussed, that he has accepted advertising money from people with close connections to the provincial BC Liberals and the federal Conservatives."
Jason, how can you write that in good conscience? If you're really worried about spin or "unsourced" stories, why would you write speculative crap like that? Wouldn't be interesting if you had to defend yourself against that accusation in court? How would you?
And Jason chose not to post it. It isn't foul or SPAM or off-topic. It might not be brilliance but it's hardly objectionable. It makes me wonder how many other posts Jason is "moderating" because he's afraid people might see his posts for the SPIN they are. Come one Jason, what are you afraid of?
