Speaker of the House Starts Blogging

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the grass-roots-politics dept.

Bjimba writes "Denny Hastert, the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, has just started his own blog on the official speaker.gov site. I don't know if he'll keep up with it, but from reading his initial post, it seems clear that he's not employing ghostbloggers."

    I have seen many forums degenerate from high quality postings by the original, idealistic people to rant sessions and flame wars by idiots who drive out the reasonable participants.

    As have I. Still, there are some idealistic people here at slashdot.

    Technically, it may be OK. The problem I have with his blog is the style it's written in. He writes like an elementary school student.

    Well, at least at my elementary school they taught us not to end a senence with a preposition.

    "...the style it's written in."

    should be

    "...the style in which it's written."

    But I'll forgive all because you know how to correctly use an apostrophe.

    Well, to be fair, either do most bloggers. :-)
