Clay Burell is chastising bloggers--if you're not on his approved list, consider yourself rebuked--if they're not writing about politics. When the world is coming down around us, why aren't we writing about it?

I'll tell you why, Clay. We are more interested in the meltdown we're a part of NOW, that is immediately relevant, than the slow boil the frog issue of the economy. Just today, I received this email from a Republican, extended family member:

I saw this program when it was aired a week or so ago and I urge you to watch it when it repeats again tomorrow night, Sunday, 12 Oct.. It’s an enlightenment about a man who may be our next president.

HELLO EVERYONE: IMPORTANT INFORMATION!!

SEAN HANNITY, OF HANNITY & COLMES ~ FOX NEWS, IS GOING TO AIR A VERY IMPORTANT DOCUMENTARY ABOUT BARACK

OBAMA, SUNDAY NIGHT AT 9:00 PM. HE STATED ON THE AIR THIS EVENING THAT NO ONE IN THE NEWS MEDIA WAS WILLING TO DO THIS. HANNITY IS GOING BACK TO OBAMA'S EARLIER DAYS, SHOWING EVEN THEN HIS TIES TO RADICAL PROFESSORS, FRIENDS, SPIRITUAL ADVISERS, Etc., HE STATED THIS EVENING THAT HE WILL SHOW IN DETAIL HIS TIES TO REV. WRIGHT FOR 20+ YRS (which we

all know) HOW HE WAS PARTICIPATING WITH THIS MAN, AND NOT FOR THE REASONS HE STATES! HE HAS UNCOVERED MORE OF OBAMA'S RADICAL LEADERS AND WE WILL SEE THINGS THAT NO ONE IN THE MEDIA IS WILLING TO PUT OUT THERE. THIS WILL BE A NIGHT THAT YOU WILL KNOW MORE ABOUT OBAMA THAN EVER BEFORE. HANNITY IS VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS PROGRAM AND ASKED THAT EVERYONE PLEASE, PLEASE WATCH~~ SUNDAY NIGHT, 9 PM. HANNITY IS DETERMINED THIS INFORMATION BE PUT OUT THERE BECAUSE AS AMERICAN'S, WE STILL DO NOT KNOW ABOUT OBAMA!! WAKE UP AMERICA !! THIS IS SERIOUS,EVERYONE. I KNOW MOST OF YOU WATCH FOX NEWS, AND YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE VOTING FOR, BUT IF YOU CAN, PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW. THIS IS CRITICAL FOR OUR COUNTRY. MY PRAYER IS THAT WE, ALONG WITH SEAN HANNITY, WILL REACH

SOMEONE/ANYONE BEFORE NOV. 4th. WE MUST NOT GIVE UP!!!!!!!!! GOD BLESS!!

I looked online at Fox TV to verify this. It is true. The web site is http://www.foxnews.com/hannitysamerica/index.html

Can I really hope that a blog post will change this person's perspective? No. Should I document my disappointment with family and colleagues when they continue to hold fast to McCain/Palin, the "barracuda" attacks that fly in the face of Christian morality? No. I've already decided how I'm going to vote.

If I had to ask a question, Clay, it would be, how come the candidates haven't given us more specific answers on the Economy and what solutions they would implement. I'd like more specific answers than just "change."

But at this point, I have to vote for one or the other. I know that I don't want the one that has subverted his principles and values in the hope of winning the election. I do want a candidate that's going to give me specific answers, or guide us all in a substantive discussion about coming up with those answers, but...let's wait.
