"There are men, in all ages, who mean to exercise power usefully; but who mean to exercise it. They mean to govern well; but they mean to govern. They promise to be kind masters; but they mean to be masters." Daniel Webster

Party of Pundits

The Columbia Journalism Review says changes are going on at right-wing blogs and magazines. The call for more reporting and less opining is a good one. One of the major problems with American conservatism is that all the young "journalists" want to be Ann Coulter, not Robert Novak. Heck, Novak himself was complaining years ago that all these 22-year-olds fresh out of college, with absolutely no life experience, wanted to come to Washington and offer their opinions on everything under the sun without figuring out they've got to give people a reason to respect their opinions.
