Please don't boycott proper English.

No, Mr. Betts, noting the correct spelling of the name of your blog is not a potshot.
However, the previous sentence may qualify as one.

".. matters for others of far more competence than either him or I."
"... his supposed acquiesance to the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor ..."

"Mark Shea ... has publically rejected at his own weblog the views from CAI's article."

"... can you too hold to the the extreme views found in it?"

"This has become a rather famous book among political prgressives ..."
"I originaly was going to skip posting on this day ..." (Always go with your instincts.)
"All you have to do now is listen in any coffeshop ..."
"... are the mainstream here now as profesionals and farmers ..."

"I DON'T CARE WHAT ALL OF YOU THINK, WHAT DO THE BISHOP'S SAY!"
