Unless you have been a Lefty blogger or Lurker hiding inside the Conservative Echo Chamber of late (which is the same as hiding under a rock), you’re well aware of the serious re-evaluation and assessment of our blogsphere that has broken out on many fronts recently. And, if TCF were pressed to make a summation, the brutal truths would go something like this:

- Female bloggers are discovering there’s no need for an actual corporate structure to experience the ‘glass ceiling’.
- Clearly declaring yourself or your blog by means of your minority racial identity is a hindrance, especially when it comes to winning a Koufax Award.

My point being, that the assumption may be that our blogsphere resembles the CBS prime time lineup, however it’s about that time to make it clear, that we’ll no longer accept being relegated to UPN and the Lifetime Network. More...
- They elected -- and re-elected -- a president who isn't big on science (from The Guardian)
- A congresswoman compared stem cell research to "experiments that were done by the Third Reich" (from No More Mister Nice Blog)
- The Republican party that more than half of Americans voted for has become the kind of interfering, meddlesome government it once railed against (from they make up 25% percent of the audience that pay to see their movies.
