You are the &#8220;Associated Press,&#8221; not yourself.  The AP is not exactly where you find the next Norman Mailer. News service reporters are not even as well known as bloggers.  I mean whose names are more famous to the general public at his point &#8211;  Glenn Reynolds, Michelle Malkin and (yikes) Markos Moulitsas or [insert any Associated Press writer here]?]]>Tue, 16 Dec 2008 10:17:04 -0500<![CDATA[Roger L.
