Full Disclosure

This story (including a bunch of links) was brought to my attention on one of my mailing lists. Basically The Washington Post broke a story telling the world that the guy behind theDaily Kos and some other blogger were paid by the howard dean campaign.

Done reading? Good. I won't bore you on my take of the whole thing - beyond saying that it is pretty much a non story. But, it does bring up the point that all bloggers should fully disclose how they pay the bills and what funds their blog.

I wouldn't call what I do on this blog journalism - but just in case I do write something that might one day win me a Pulitzer® I don't want to be taken out of the running on a technicality.

So in the interest of full disclosure I want the world to know:
I pay for my own hosting. I generated a tiny amount of revenue from the Google Ad Words that are clearly marked as such on this site. I do not, and have not and will not receive or accept any money to write a story or blog entry about anyone or anything or anyplace. The views expressed on this site are my own. In the event that a view expressed here is not my own an attribution to the holder of the view being presented will be made.

<smartass>In the unlikely event that someone would offer to pay me $1,000,000.00 to write an article about something, someone or some place, I will write the article - and cease to write anything else (as I will be too busy spending $1,000,000.00). Any offer to whore myself for less than $1,000,000.00 will be rejected.</smartass>
